LOTR: Return to Moria — Steam Gift

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria — descend into Khazad-dûm and reclaim Moria

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a co-op survival adventure set in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, where you play a dwarf of Durin's folk descending into the fallen underground kingdom of Khazad-dûm. The game was developed by Free Range Games and published by North Beach Games; it launched on PC on October 24, 2023, and arrived on Steam on August 27, 2024 alongside the major Golden Update. You don't need to be Frodo or Gandalf here: the story takes place in the Fourth Age after the War of the Ring, and your goal isn't to destroy the Ring but to revive the greatest halls of the dwarves. With this product you receive the full game as a Steam gift delivered straight to your account.

What kind of game it is

Return to Moria blends survival, resource gathering, building and exploration of procedurally generated depths. Every playthrough is a new Moria: tunnels, halls, mines and caverns are laid out anew, so a map you've memorized will be different in your next campaign. You mine ore and legendary mithril, forge gear at the smithies, rebuild the ruined structures of the ancient kingdom, relight extinguished hearths and push ever deeper — to where the dark is thicker and the enemies more dangerous. Orcs and creatures of the deep react to noise: the clang of a pickaxe or an anvil can draw a whole horde, so sometimes it pays to move quietly.

Solo or a band of up to five dwarves

You can descend into Moria alone, but the game truly shines in co-op — up to 5 players in one party. One mines, another holds the line, a third hauls resources back to base: splitting roles makes expeditions lively and unpredictable. Since the Golden Update the game added cross-play between platforms and a Sandbox mode for those who want to build without survival pressure. Note: every co-op member needs their own copy — this gift activates the game on a single account.

What's included

This is the Steam edition of the game — the full base version, which is all you need to play everything: the survival campaign, the sandbox mode and co-op. No separately purchased parts are required for the core content — you get the game itself. The gift arrives on your Steam account, after which you manage it like any other library purchase: install, update and play.

How we deliver the gift

We send you a Steam Gift through an automated bot. We need two things from you: a Steam friend invite link (copy it from your profile under “Add Friend”) and your Steam account region. Everything else happens on its own: the bot adds itself as your friend, sends the gift, and removes itself from your friends list after delivery. You don't need to accept the friend request — you only need friend requests allowed in your profile settings. Steam Guard isn't required for this. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes from checkout, but we don't promise hard deadlines — occasional delays happen, and then we work to sort them out.

Region and library — the two key conditions

For Steam to accept the gift, two things must line up. First, your account region must match the gift region: Steam ties gifts to a region and simply won't let you accept a mismatched one. Second, you must not already own Return to Moria: a gift can't be accepted for a game already in your library, and that's the most common reason for failure. So when ordering, enter your region carefully and send the gift to an account that doesn't have the game yet.

Common questions before buying

• Is this a key? No, it's a Steam gift — the game arrives on your account, no separate code to enter.
• What if the bot didn't add me? Usually it's closed friend requests or an expired invite link — allow friend requests and send a fresh link.
• Do I need Steam Guard? No, it's not required to receive the gift.
• Is there co-op? Yes, up to 5 players and cross-play, but each needs their own copy.
