Update
Initial information has been clarified after new sources emerged. According to Insider Gaming, the main Lord of the Rings project is not in the hands of Warhorse Studios, as initially rumored.
Instead, development would fall to Crystal Dynamics, a studio known for its work on franchises like Tomb Raider. Additionally, the project would be backed by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), with the intention of creating a large-scale title capable of directly competing with proposals like Hogwarts Legacy.
However, the same sources do not rule out the possibility that Warhorse Studios may be involved in a different project within the Tolkien universe, although it would not be the same game mentioned in the original leak.
Original News
A new project based on Lord of the Rings is starting to gain traction and does so with a name that fits quite well with the type of game that could be in development. According to recent rumors, Warhorse Studios would be involved in the next title of the franchise.
The information suggests that Embracer Group would have 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 atmosphere 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 Lord of the Rings with a studio specialized in 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, as this type of project usually starts to take shape when solid rumors emerge.
