According to the resume of a former Amazon employee who was laid off this week, Amazon's planned "Lord of the Rings" online game has been cancelled.It has been previously reported that Amazon has stopped the subsequent content development of the online game "New World".These are part of the company's major layoffs this week.

The employee wrote on LinkedIn: "I was laid off from Amazon Games this morning, along with the talented people behind New World and our upcoming game The Lord of the Rings. It's always hard to see things like this, and I've been lucky enough to work with some of the best, most creative and well-intentioned developers in the industry."

Amazon launched a major layoff on Tuesday local time, with 14,000 employees laid off, including Amazon Games Orange County, the developer of "New World".

Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" online game was announced in 2023. At that time, it reached a cooperation with Embracer, the company that owns the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings".The game is officially described as an open-world adventure that covers the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies.
