Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the two Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, has announced it is making an open world Middle-earth RPG. The confirmation puts an end to rumors that had been connecting the IP with the studio's RPG team.
The announcement also disclosed that Warhorse Studios has a new Kingdom Come adventure in the works. The studio's wording in its social media post does not mention the Deliverance subtitle, suggesting this project could differ from the previous two titles.

Fans should not expect to see anything from either project for quite some time. Both games remain early in development, according to the studio. Warhorse Studios stated, "We’re excited to tell you more when the time is right."
The direction Warhorse Studios takes with its The Lord of the Rings game will be interesting. The studio has made a name for itself on realistic and fairly complex mechanics and life simulator features.
In the two Kingdom Come: Deliverance titles, players have to take care of their clothing, wash themselves, and be careful not to get caught in places they shouldn't be. These kinds of considerations do not usually make their way into the most mainstream games, which a Lord of the Rings experience would be.
The project is in the hands of a skilled RPG studio. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 launched last year to universal acclaim, earning a rare 10/10 score from Push Square. The review stated: "Challenging, uncompromising, and thoroughly engrossing, it's in a league almost entirely of its own."
