Rumors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Rumors about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lordoftherings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lord of the Rings<\/a> project from Warhorse Studios had already been circulating online for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Now, however, the developer has officially confirmed the game through its social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Unfortunately, details remain extremely limited for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The studio did not reveal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Gameplay footage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Release windows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Story

data-block-type=\"core\">Still, the confirmation alone was enough to immediately explode across RPG communities online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">I iskreno?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Warhorse developing a grounded, immersive Middle-earth RPG sounds like an absolutely perfect fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter

data-block-type=\"core\">The New Kingdom Come Project Is Also Mysterious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Interestingly, Warhorse did not directly call the next Kingdom Come game an RPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Instead, the studio referred to it only as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">\u201cA new adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">That wording has already sparked speculation among fans that the studio could potentially experiment with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">A different gameplay structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">A smaller spin-off experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Another genre entirely<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Or simply a side story within the Kingdom Come universe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Realistically though, most players still expect it to remain a narrative-driven RPG experience in some form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Especially after the massive success of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingdomcomerpg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"xbox-introduces-player-voice-to-make-community-feedback-simpler\" data-block-type=\"core\"><a

Community Feedback Simpler<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"middle-earth-feels-like-a-perfect-match-for-warhorse\" data-block-type=\"core\">Middle-earth Feels Like a Perfect Match for Warhorse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Honestly, few studios currently feel more suitable for a realistic open-world Middle-earth RPG than Warhorse Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The team already proved with Kingdom Come that it excels at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Dense world-building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Immersive exploration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Realistic combat systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Detailed medieval environments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Grounded storytelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Which translates shockingly well to the world of Tolkien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">At the moment, it remains completely unclear where the new game fits within the timeline of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lordoftherings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lord of the Rings<\/a> universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But even without those details\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">\u2026the idea of exploring Middle-earth in a large-scale open-world RPG already sounds incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"these-games-are-probably-still-years-away\" data-block-type=\"core\">These Games Are Probably Still Years Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Fans probably should not expect either project anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Large RPGs of this scale typically require many years of development, especially considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingdomcomerpg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2<\/a> only launched relatively recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Still, simply knowing that a brand-new Middle-earth RPG officially exists is already enough to get a lot of players excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">I iskreno?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Warhorse Studios may have just become one of the most interesting RPG developers to watch over the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Sadr\u017eaj<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a
