The New Lord of the Rings Game May Have Already Dodged the Biggest Open-World Game Trap

After denying rumors last year that suggested they were working on a Lord of the Rings game, Warhorse Studios, the team behind the Kingdom Come: Deliverance RPG series, has now confirmed that it is, in fact, currently developing a Middle-earth RPG. For me, this is some of the best news I’ve heard all year, as I am probably just as much a fan of The Lord of the Rings as I am of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The open-world RPG formula Warhorse arguably perfected in its KCD series, now being used to bring Middle-earth to life, is something I’ve been dreaming of since I first heard the rumors, as I’m confident that if anyone can finally do Tolkien’s world justice within the gaming space, it’s them.
