The Lord of the Rings survival game Return to Moria is finally launching on Steam after a long Epic Store exclusivity. The developers have also released the Golden Update, in which they fulfill a whole host of player wishes.

What kind of game is this? The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a survival crafting game set after the films and books. During this time, a group of dwarves try to reclaim the lost underground city of Moria.

In the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the group around Frodo and the Ring visit the city. They expect a warm welcome there, as Moria should have been recaptured years ago. However, this failed and instead of food and drink, the heroes are given orcish arrows and even a confrontation with a mighty Balrog.

Now, in the fourth age of Middle Earth, the dwarves want to try again: Moria should be theirs again. The client is even the dwarf Gimli, who plays a major role in The Lord of the Rings.
