Standing Stone Games
About
Standing Stone Games is an American studio based in Boston, known for a single game: The Lord of the Rings Online, the MMORPG released in 2007 and still active nearly two decades later. The studio emerged in 2016 after Daybreak Game Company acquired Turbine's teams, thereby inheriting LOTRO and its cousin Dungeons & Dragons Online.
Since then, Standing Stone Games has maintained LOTRO with regular expansions that follow Tolkien's narrative across Middle-earth, from Moria to Rohan to the edges of Mordor. The studio relies on strict fidelity to the literary universe, a sustained update pace for an MMO of this age, and a very old and engaged player community.
With The Wolves of Mordor announced for this fall, the studio is also preparing the ground for LOTRO's 20th anniversary in 2027, with plans to revisit classic content.
