Lord of the Rings RPG confirmed

Warhorse Studios, the developer behind 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance,' has officially confirmed it is working on a new open-world role-playing game set in Middle-earth.

The announcement follows months of rumors suggesting a high-budget adaptation of the Tolkien franchise.

The project is being developed in collaboration with Embracer Group's Fellowship Entertainment division.

Fans are eager to see the studio's signature historical realism applied to the fantasy setting of Arda.

While a release date has not been set, the game is expected to be a major pillar of the publisher's future lineup.
