Turugnî hisgin! from Free Range Games and North Beach Games, the developer and publisher
behind The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™!


We’re excited to announce that the game’s first major expansion – Durin’s Folk – arrives November 18 on PC and consoles. With more than 20 hours of added content (plus infinitely repeatable cooperative events set in randomized dungeons), Durin’s Folk cements Return to Moria as an essential experience for Middle-earth enthusiasts and survival-crafting fans alike. Building on the base game’s story-driven survival-crafting, the Durin's Folk expansion delivers all-new end game content, including an additional story chapter rich with expanded lore, mysterious and challenging areas beyond the mountain’s caverns, thoughtful new gameplay mechanics, and more: [/p]
  • [p]The Legend Continues: Discover more about the Dwarves in the Fourth Age, the Lord [/p][p]of Moria, and more in an all-new end-game story chapter that expands The Lord of the [/p][p]Rings’ lore. [/p]
  • [p]The Recruiting Post: Rescue and recruit NPCs you meet in the mines. These recruits [/p][p]will join your settlement and assume roles like blacksmith, miner, brewmaster, and [/p][p]guard. [/p]
  • [p]Restore Moria: Construct great works called “Monuments” with help from those you [/p][p]rescue. [/p]
  • [p]Multiplayer Expeditions: Conquer procedurally generated dungeons, undertaking [/p][p]randomized end-game adventures alone or with friends. [/p]
  • [p]Explore New Areas: Uncover the mystery of Durin's Tower, explore outside the [/p][p]mountain for the first time, and create epic bases in a large new buildable space. [/p]
  • [p]End-Game Economy Update: Utilize the updated end-game economy, which provides [/p][p]new materials, items, and recipes that unlock lore and content. [/p][p][/p]
[p][/p][p]The Durin’s Folk expansion follows two full years of consistent support and updates for the base
game, which gradually turned Return to Moria into one of the genre’s most robust offerings.
Additionally, the game’s narrative – which continues in Durin’s Folk – expanded unexplored
areas of The Lord of the Rings lore, adding unmissable story content for Tolkien fans the world
over. [/p][p]
Players are invited to embark on an epic journey to reclaim the Dwarven homeland of Moria,
and explore, craft, and build in procedurally generated worlds. Play as a solo adventurer or join
friends in co-op gameplay for up to eight players, with full cross-play between Steam, Epic,
PlayStation 5, and Xbox X|S. [/p][p]
