Free Range Games are proud to present the official Art Exhibition of Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria!

From the moment we began working on Return to Moria, the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings has inspired the Free Range Games artists. We all share vivid memories of poring over hand-drawn maps of Middle-earth, and marveling at the original illustrations in the first editions. So we always knew we wanted to bring this world to life through visuals in our game. The Digital Art Exhibition takes the reader through not only our game development process, but on a journey through the past few years as we share our love for the art of The Lord of the Rings.
