SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO: Great news for fans of all things Tolkien-related: Warhorse Studios, the company behind the Kingdom Come series, is making a Lord of the Rings role-playing game. Moreover, fans of its medieval-simulator franchise will rejoice to learn that another Kingdom Come game is also in the works.
In a post on its official X account, Warhorse Studios revealed that rumors it is working on new Middle-earth and Kingdom Come games were true. The studio said it would reveal more details "when the time is right." The only thing we know about the LotR game right now is that it's an open-world RPG.
The last Lord of the Rings-based game was Tales of the Shire, a kid-friendly life-sim title from Wētā Workshop. Before that, there was the survival-crafting adventure The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria in 2023, the same year that the much-maligned The Lord of the Rings: Gollum came out.
The idea of what could essentially be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 set in the fantasy world of Middle-earth sounds very compelling. No word yet on when we might get to play it, though.
Warhorse also confirmed a new Kingdom Come adventure is in development. This will presumably be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3, but it could also be a spinoff of the main series.
