Ever since Game of Thrones took the world by storm and became one of the most successful television series of all time, other creators have been looking at how they can follow suit and capitalize on a market hungry for more fantasy offerings. On top of the HBO series’ record-breaking ratings, it sprouted a franchise which spanned console games, slot machines, and even board games. Amazon is preparing to release its Lord of the Rings series in the near future, and it has the potential to be just as fruitful as Game of Thrones.
J.R.R Tolkien’s epic fantasy, The Lord of the Rings, is one of the books credited with kick-starting the hugely popular genre, and inspiring authors such as George R.R Martin later on down the line. Indeed, without the Middle-Earth saga, there is a chance that Game of Thrones may never have come about. This is why the release of a new series based on the lore of the legendary writer will please fans of the genre, as well as those who are looking for something to fill the GOT-shaped void in their lives.
Way before the dragon and dagger-filled HBO drama came about, Peter Jackson created a hugely successful movie trilogy based on Tolkien’s works. The films released by New Line Cinema raked in more than $2.9 billion worldwide and led to a series of console games around that time period. But the release of this historical trilogy was way before iGaming became such a big component of the modern franchise. When the new series drops, there are likely to be new games available across a range of platforms.
The Game of Thrones slot game from Microgaming is one of the most popular and successful iGaming titles in recent years, and it has proven to be a major selling point for online casinos. Those who are interested in playing it can also check the current free spins offers to see if there are any deals relating to the game or on any of the many other fantasy slot games also around. Indeed, a Lord of the Rings offering certainly wouldn’t look out of place in this sphere and by having a major developer like Microgaming create one, it would also make more online casino players aware of the series on Amazon.
It is exciting to think that there will be new console games when the new Lord of the Rings series is released. The previous games from Electronic Arts which followed the story of Jackson’s films were epic, but the technology has advanced a lot since those were released in 2002 and 2003. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has a new Middle-Earth title in the pipeline, but whether this will be related to the events of the series remains to be seen.
Netflix is preparing to release its GOT alternative, The Witcher, at the end of the year, but Amazon could have the upper hand with The Lord of the Rings. The Prime series is already world-famous thanks to Jackson’s movies, and it could be the next big cross-platform franchise to knock GOT off its perch.
