North Beach Games’ new work “The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” was announced at Epic Games’ “Epic Games Store – Summer Showcase 2022” broadcast today, and North Beach Games announced the Lord of the Rings: Moria mine and dwarves. It has become clear that we are developing a Co-op survival game that can be played by up to 8 players.
“The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria” joins a group of dwarves convened by Gimli, exploring the vast Moria and regaining its former hometown of Kazad-Dum. I had to dig too deep into the basement to awaken the balrog and escape), a vast procedurally generated Moria in a construction and craft survival game that seeks to recover lost boots. There is a very fun announcement trailer where you can see the interior, the dwarves, the architecture and the craft.
The new “Return to Moria” for PC will be released in 2023
In The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, dwarves embark on a new adventure to regain their legendary hometown of Moria at the foot of the Misty Mountains. Join forces to survive, craft and build while exploring the iconic and vast mines. A mysterious danger awaits brave adventurers.
■ Recapture the dwarven hometown Moria
A player summoned to the Misty Mountains by Gimli (who has my curly hair) controls a group of dwarves and is lost from the underlying dwarven hometown Moria (also known as Kazad-Doom or Dwarofelf). You have to get back your loot. The adventure of stepping deep into the Moria mine and regaining treasure will require an indomitable spirit.
No two adventures are the same in the procedurally generated Dwarven Kingdom Moria. All adventures can be done solo or online with friends. Players can mine to create better equipment and resources. However, mining makes noise, and the noise generated in quiet places can evoke the danger of sleeping underground. If you make a sound, you cannot escape the battle. Collect precious metals and work to survive while unraveling the mysteries of the three legendary mountains. Fight the indescribable power and uncover the secret of the shadow hidden inside.
■ Main features of the game:
- Feel your companion: Experience a dwarven companionship like never before in The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, woven with the rich folklore of JRR Tolkien’s iconic fantasy world.
- Survive the darkness: To survive in a dangerous Moria mine, you must hunt, secure food, and control sleep, temperature, and noise levels while conserving resources. With a dynamic light system, you can safely pave the way in the dark. Fight against the indescribable evil, fight through huge swarms of orcs, and uncover the secrets of the shadows that stand against the mountains.
- Building a base: Find a place of relaxation from the darkness. Explore new locations and create magnificent buildings. You can use your creativity to build a base from scratch or take advantage of the environment. Watch out for the evils that try to hinder the evolution of dwarves.
- Reconstruction and remodeling of Moria: Regain the glory of the ancient kingdom Kazad-Doom, which has been lost for a long time. As the story progresses, the dwarven landmarks will resurrect. Revive the old mine, restart the smithy, and get pristine resources.

- Mining ore and gems: Build a mine to discover precious resources such as iron, gold and quartz, and fantastic materials such as Mithril. At craft stations and blacksmiths, you can convert ore into ingots and upgrade your equipment. However, be aware that the sound of mining is loud and may evoke something hidden in the darkness.

Dwarves can be customized in a variety of ways to create unique dwarves. And by discovering and crafting armor and weapons during gameplay, you can further express your own style.
