Lord of the Rings: Return of Moria footage shown and it looks better than Gollum

Lord of the Rings: Return of Moria mechanics have been shown off at Summer Games Fest with a new trailer showcasing Hobbits, elves, and dwarves digging and battling underground. 

It's a survival and crafting game, a first for the series, which takes a laborious approach to the underbelly that keeps Tolkien's world going. That means you'll be building and forging weapons, items, and presumably forts if the brief look at base-building elements is anything to go off of.
