Overview
- Warhorse publicly confirmed on Wednesday that it is developing an open‑world Middle‑earth (Lord of the Rings) role‑playing game and “a new Kingdom Come adventure.”
- The studio gave no release windows, platforms, lead developers, or gameplay details and said it will “tell you more when the time is right.”
- Embracer is reorganizing key franchises into a new unit called Fellowship Entertainment and will include Warhorse and the Lord of the Rings IP in that group.
- Warhorse’s assignment of the Tolkien license follows the strong commercial and critical performance of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which sold millions of copies and won major awards.
- Key unknowns remain: the Kingdom Come project may or may not be a numbered sequel, there are no confirmed development timelines, and earlier reports of outside investment and funding details have not been verified.
