Today, Canard Games announced their upcoming massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Middle Earth Histories. Bringing the rich world and lore of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy world from The Lord of the Rings to player’s PCs, it is set to take on Blizzard’s World of Warcraft (WoW), the current most popular MMORPG. In the press release, Canard Games spokesman Richard Wally said: “Middle Earth Histories will have all the excitement that current MMORPGs offer while also letting players explore the world from Tolkien’s seminal work. We have painstakingly recreated the author’s vision of Middle Earth in a fully 3D environment. With such a rich world to explore, full of danger and memorable characters, Middle Earth Histories will be the next big MMO. Players are going to find MEH much more exciting than WoW.”
