– Warhorse Studios is developing two major projects: an open-world The Lord of the Rings RPG and a new Kingdom Come game.
– The LOTR title is described as an open-world RPG with no confirmed gameplay details, release window, or platforms yet.
– A new Kingdom Come game is in development, with unclear direction—whether it continues Henry’s story or pivots to a different path (notably lacking the “Deliverance” subtitle).
– The news follows publisher Deep Silver’s mention in a financial report and comes after Kingdom Come: Deliverance II’s strong launch performance.
Warhorse Studios, best known for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series, has revealed that it is developing an open-world RPG based on The Lord of the Rings alongside a new Kingdom Come game. The Czech studio shared the news shortly after Kingdom Come: Deliverance II publisher Deep Silver mentioned the projects during its latest financial report.
Open‑World LotR Project
The Middle-earth title is described as an open-world RPG, although no gameplay details, release window, or platforms have been announced yet. Rumors suggested the project will feature a large-scale open world and immersive RPG mechanics similar to Warhorse’s previous games. The company has not released specific system requirements or pricing, which leaves fans waiting for more concrete information, yet expectations are running high for the scale and depth promised.
Kingdom Come Continuation
At the same time, the studio confirmed that a new Kingdom Come game is already in development. It is currently unknown whether the project will continue Henry’s story of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II or take the series in a different direction. But this is hinted at by the absence of the “Deliverance” subtitle in the name of the new Kingdom Come entry. Details on platforms, release date timelines, and narrative focus remain vague, fueling discussions among supporters about what form the next chapter might take.
Past Success and Expectations
Hopes are high for this new project, as Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was a major commercial and critical success for the studio, reportedly selling over 5 million copies within its first year. The strong reception has amplified anticipation for both the Lord of the Rings project and any potential continuation of the Deliverance universe, with fans eager to see how Warhorse might translate its historically grounded design philosophy into epic fantasy settings.
