A new project based on The Lord of the Rings is starting to gain momentum and it does so with a name that fits quite well with the type of game that could be in development. According to the latest rumors, Warhorse Studios would be involved in the next title of the franchise.

The information points to Embracer Group having entrusted the license to this studio, known for its work on Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a RPG that stood out for its realistic approach and open-world setting.

The new Lord of the Rings game could bet on an open-world RPG

For now, there is no official confirmation, but the context is quite interesting. If the project is indeed in the hands of Warhorse, everything suggests that it could be an RPG with a similar approach to Kingdom Come, with deep mechanics and a more realistic setting within Middle-earth. The rumor also mentions an investment of around $100 million, which suggests an ambitious development. However, no concrete details have been given about gameplay, story, or platforms.

As always in these cases, it’s best to take the information with caution. Nevertheless, the combination of The Lord of the Rings with a studio specialized in more traditional RPGs is an idea that, on paper, sounds quite good. We’ll have to keep an eye out for possible announcements in the coming months, because this type of project usually starts to take shape when solid rumors appear.
