Warhorse Studios Announces New Kingdom Come Game and Open World Lord of the Rings RPG
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Warhorse Studios has officially confirmed its next two projects, a new Kingdom Come game and an open world Lord of the Rings RPG, alongside plans to open a new studio branch.
Warhorse Studios is expanding its horizons following the success of its historical open world titles. In a recent announcement on social media, the developer confirmed that it is currently working on two major projects. The first is a brand new entry in the Kingdom Come franchise, continuing the legacy of its grounded medieval RPGs. The second project is an ambitious open world Lord of the Rings role playing game, turning months of community speculation into official reality.
This announcement marks a significant milestone for the studio, which is opening a brand new branch to handle the workload of these massive simultaneous developments. Warhorse cemented its reputation with the 2018 release of the original Kingdom Come, a game known for its uncompromising historical realism and deep mechanical systems, followed by the critically acclaimed sequel in 2025. While those titles leaned heavily into historical accuracy and gritty survival elements, taking on Middle earth represents a massive tonal shift into high fantasy for the team.
For players and fans of massive single player adventures, this pairing is major news. Middle earth has seen plenty of gaming adaptations over the years, but a sprawling open world RPG built by a studio known for deep systems and uncompromising world building is a compelling prospect. As reported by Game Rant, Warhorse is keeping specific details under wraps for now, promising more information when the time is right.
