Czech studio Warhorse Studios, known for its realistic medieval game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has officially confirmed that it is working on an open-world role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings. The developers are also working on a new game set in their own historical universe.
This is stated in a message from Warhorse Studios on social networks.
The new game is described by the authors as an «open-world Middle-earth RPG.» Since the developers are focusing specifically on the geography of J. R. R. Tolkien’s world, the game’s events will not necessarily take place in the classic era of direct struggle for the One Ring. The fantasy project is expected to borrow key mechanics of immersion and detail from Kingdom Come.
At the same time, Warhorse Studios confirmed work on a «new adventure in the Kingdom Come universe.» It is currently unknown whether this is a full-fledged third installment of the franchise or a large-scale spin-off.
«We look forward to the opportunity to tell you more,» Warhorse Studios added.
Recall that last year, the credits of the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 noticed the participation of the Russian studio Owlcat Games, as well as Russian managers from the company Riotloc, who worked on the Ukrainian localization of the game. dev.ua contacted the localization union «Shlyakbytraf» for a comment and received an explanation.
