Warhorse Studios: rumors about a Lord of the Rings RPG
Warhorse Studios, known for Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has recently declined to comment on rumors that it is working on a Lord of the Rings RPG. The studio is currently talking with fans about its next project, but remains vague about the details.
The rumors are circulating
During a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit, community manager Tom Grey was asked about the alleged Lord of the Rings game. He responded with humor, saying they couldn’t really comment until they were “in the future.” Even if there is interest, the studio is staying quiet about any possible developments.
Meanwhile, Warhorse content director Ondrej Bittner said the team is busy working on something that will be a huge, immersive RPG. While fans are hoping for a Lord of the Rings adventure, no specific details can be confirmed.
What can we expect?
It’s possible that Warhorse is working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3 or a similar title. That would help explain away the Lord of the Rings RPG rumors without the studio having to reveal anything specific. The studio’s parent company, Embracer Group, owns the rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise, which is fueling speculation about a game set in that world.
Other gaming news from May 2026
Alongside the Warhorse rumors, there are other developments in the games industry. Battlefield 6 was the best-selling game in the US over the past year, sparking a bidding war among multiple Hollywood studios for the film rights to the Battlefield universe.
There are also signs that Capcom is working on a sequel to Pragmata. Rob Dyer, COO of Capcom USA, said the company has received positive feedback from the development studio and that new plans are in place for the franchise.
