- Amazon is offering three popular Lord of the Rings games for free to celebrate Season 2 of The Rings of Power.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has brought some exciting games to life, and Amazon is currently offering some of these adaptations for free. In honor of Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, launching on August 29, three popular Lord of the Rings games – Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, and Middle-earth: Shadow of War – will be available for a limited time.
The Rings of Power is one of the latest live action adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's work. However, the franchise has a long history of video game adaptations as well. From the upcoming Tales of the Shire to last year's Return to Moria, gaming has been one of the most compelling ways to explore Middle-earth. As The Rings of Power's second season approaches, Amazon is taking the opportunity to give gamers a great deal.
Lord of the Rings' New Video Game Approach is Hopefully a Detour, Not a Destination
Lord of the Rings is still one of the most beloved fantasy franchises, but its video game adaptations might need to see a big change sooner or later.
Prime members now have the opportunity to get Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, and Middle-earth: Shadow of War ahead of The Rings of Power's season premiere. Interested gamers who have Prime and Amazon Luna can jump into some fascinating adaptations of The Lord of the Rings without any additional cost.
Three Lord of the Rings Games Are Now Free on Amazon
While Shadow of Mordor and LEGO The Lord of the Rings are available through Prime, Shadow of War can be accessed through Amazon Luna, the company's cloud gaming platform. LEGO The Lord of the Rings is a funny, lighthearted take on the genre-defining fantasy franchise, but the stars of this Amazon deal are Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Both games became notable for the Nemesis System, a groundbreaking enemy randomization mechanic. All three games offer something for a variety of Lord of the Rings fans. Those who are interested can check the exclusive deal out on Prime Gaming.
Shadow of Mordor and LEGO The Lord of the Rings are available until September 30, while Shadow of War is available until September 26.
With Season 2 of The Rings of Power now two days away from its premiere, fans of both the show and gaming can get an extra dose of The Lord of the Rings content thanks to this deal. Whether one is more interested in the fun-loving tone of the LEGO games or someone is craving a darker story more in line with The Rings of Power, this bundle of free games is a deal many fans won't want to miss.
