Gaikai has announced that it will offer The Lord of the Rings Online via streaming without needing to download the game’s client. Another Turbine game, Dungeons & Dragons: Online, will be available soon on the service.
“MMOs have always been one of the key genres that we’ve wanted to deliver via the cloud – never before has it been possible to play MMOs in this way,” said Robert Stevenson, executive vice president at Gaikai. “And we couldn’t be more pleased to showcase Gaikai’s technology by streaming Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online, which are both fantastic multiplayer gaming experiences with legions of loyal fans.”
