Amazon Layoffs Kill Lord Of The Rings MMO

Okay, so things are pretty rough over at Amazon. They’ve had to let a lot of people go, and it seems like they’re really pushing hard into AI, which is a bummer for those affected. And unfortunately, that’s hit New World hard. They’re basically putting the game on hold – no more updates are coming, and they’ve announced it’ll be shutting down completely in 2026. It’s sad to see a game go like that, but it looks like Amazon is betting big on AI instead.
