Warhorse Studios has officially confirmed the March rumor that the studio behind the acclaimed Kingdom Come: Deliverance series is now developing a game under the Lord of the Rings license.
Amid financial disclosures and a restructuring at Embracer Group, the team revealed that they are juggling two projects. One of them is the next entry in the Kingdom Come franchise, a highly anticipated sequel that followed the critically lauded Kingdom Come: Deliverance II last year and was named a Game of the Year contender at several events.
The developers said they will share more details when the time is right, leaving it unclear whether the game will retell any of the stories from The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or The Silmarillion, or whether it will be an entirely original adventure set within one of Tolkien’s eras.
Warhorse Studios has teased that more details will be shared when the moment is right, hinting at a significant upcoming announcement that has already sparked excitement among fans of the studio’s work.
The original speculation suggested an ambitious project backed by a staggering $100 million investment from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. For context, the budget for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2</em] hovered around $40 million, making this new title the most substantial undertaking in Warhorse Studios’ history to date.
The rumor source praised Warhorse as an ideal steward for this license, noting that while the Kingdom Come series lacks the quintessential fantasy elements of Tolkien’s lore, the studio’s reputation for meticulous world‑building could bring a fresh, grounded perspective to the franchise.
