Amazon Prime Gaming is offering members the chance to scoop up three games set in Lord of the Rings’ Middle-earth at no additional cost.
This latest promotion is all to celebrate the second season premiere of The Rings of Power on Amazon, which starts on 29th August.
The three games are:
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year EditionLego The Lord of the Rings, via GOG codeMiddle-earth: Shadow of War, on Amazon Luna via the Prime Gaming offer wherever Luna is available
I am quite fond of the Lego games, so would recommend giving that a go if you haven’t yet. Also, unlike the Lego Hobbit games, the Lego Lord of the Rings includes the whole story.
Our Lego Lord of the Rings review from 2012 (again, what is time?!) called it “charming and delightful, faithful to the source yet cheekily irreverent, and packed with features that feed into each other in satisfying ways”. In fact, Dan Whitehead said it marked “another highpoint in the Lego series”.

Elsewhere, Amazon Games boss Christoph Hartmann recently said the company was still trying to find the “hook” for its Lord of the Rings MMO, stating the team doesn’t “just want to go and do the same thing over” with its Middle-earth game.
