Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Kingdom Come: Deliverance series, has announced two exciting new projects: an open-world Lord of the Rings RPG and a new Kingdom Come game. This news comes as Embracer, the parent company, plans to spinoff Fellowship Entertainment, a new business unit dedicated to its biggest franchises. The upcoming Lord of the Rings game, described as an "open world Middle-earth RPG," has sparked curiosity among fans. While it may not be set within the original Lord of the Rings era, it's likely to follow the template of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, known for its historical accuracy and immersive storytelling. Warhorse's expertise in creating detailed, story-driven open-world RPGs makes them a perfect fit for this new Middle-earth adventure. The studio's commitment to historical accuracy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, combined with the fantasy elements of Middle-earth, could result in a captivating and unique gaming experience. Additionally, Warhorse has confirmed the development of a "new Kingdom Come adventure," which is rumored to be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3. This sequel, or potential spinoff, is expected to build upon the success of its predecessor, which received critical acclaim and a 9/10 review from IGN. However, the recent use of generative AI in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has caused some controversy. Daniel Vávra, the previous director, stepped down to focus on a Kingdom Come: Deliverance movie, indicating a shift in the studio's priorities. As Warhorse continues to innovate and expand its portfolio, the gaming industry eagerly anticipates the release of these new titles, which promise to deliver immersive storytelling and captivating gameplay experiences.
