/ 9,120 ViewsThe Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online will no longer be developed by Turbine. A newly formed indie game studio, Standing Stone Games, will now be developing the games.
The new studio has partnered with Daybreak Games to publish the games worldwide.
Standing Stone Games is staffed by a team who have had many years experience working on The Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online.
"The teams remain very much committed to both games and are thrilled to continue development and operations of these games as an independent studio," reads a
blog post. "This is an opportunity for us to bring about our dreams while still working on two of the biggest licenses in video games. It's a huge honor, and for you this means your games will continue to grow and improve. We love to focus on games with a high level of depth and scope, and we can't wait to show you what the future brings.
"Although a great many exciting things are happening on our end, you'll be able to continue playing the game(s) you enjoy with as little interruption as possible. Our development continues on track, and the plans we have already announced remain firmly in our future view. Again, although we are a new studio, we are also the same developers who have been and will continue to work on our games.
"Our success has always been possible because of your support. As we move forward, this is more important than ever. The ultimate goal of our new studio is to continue to bring you amazing experiences. We are excited for the future, and we’re thrilled to have you with us on this journey. "
