- Warhorse Studios is making a new one Kingdom Come game
- The studio also confirmed that a new open-world Middle-earth RPG is on the way
- There are no release windows yet, but Warhorse says “we can’t wait to share more with you when the time is right”
Warhorse Studios has announced that its next projects are now in development, and they include a new one Kingdom Come title and an open world The Lord of the Rings role play.
“You may have heard the rumors, it’s time to reveal what we’re working on. An open world Middle-earth RPG. A new Kingdom Come adventure,” the studio said in a new social media post. “We’re excited to tell you more when the time is right.”
The formulation for the new Kingdom Come “adventure” suggests that the game will not be a sequel Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2but a completely new story set in the same universe.
While Warhorse has yet to reveal details about this project in particular, it did share more about its The Lord of the Rings role-playing game (RPG) on its website, while also promising “more to come from the world Kingdom Come: Deliverance.”
“Warhorse Studios is entering a new chapter. We are working on a new RPG set in Middle-earth,” the studio said. “We’ve always created worlds full of stories that draw you in – and that’s exactly the kind of Middle-earth we’ll one day show you.
“For now, a long journey lies ahead and we can’t wait to share more with you when the time is right.”

Rumors of a Middle-earth game have surfaced since late 2025, before the latest announcement.
Warhorse’s parent company, Embrace Group, recently shared plans to strengthen its The Lord of the Rings media production under its newly formed Fellowship Entertainment subsidiary, an IP-led entertainment company “built around game development, publishing and a licensing focus, as custodians of The Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider and many other major intellectual properties.”
Embracer also owns the rights to create new games and other media based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit after it acquired Middle-earth Enterprises from The Saul Zaentz Company in 2022.
Warhorse has yet to confirm what age its Middle-earth RPG will be set in – The Lord of the Rings is primarily set at the end of the Third Age – but there are plenty of opportunities to explore. Either way, an open-world game from the award-winning studio already has fans excited.
