Warhorse Studios has just revealed the games it’s currently working on. The team is working on a new The Lord of the Rings/Middle-earth game, as well as a new Kingdom Come adventure.
According to the team, the LOTR game will be an open-world RPG. Sadly, though, we don’t have any other details about it. We don’t know when it will take place, or whether it will be related to the events of LOTR. However, we do know that it will be a Middle-earth game. So, maybe something like Shadow of Mordor or Shadow of War?
As for the new Kingdom Come game, it appears that this will be a spin-off or a DLC. Or at least that’s what I get from its description. This won’t be a new RPG. Instead, it sounds like a simpler project.
And that’s it. There is no ETA for when either of them will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
If I had to guess, I’d say both of them will use CRYENGINE. Warhorse has invested a lot of resources on improving it. So, I don’t think they will switch to Unreal Engine 5. After all, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was one of the most optimized games of 2025. So, there is no way they will throw away everything they have built for UE5, right? RIGHT?
Stay tuned for more!
You might have heard the rumours, it’s time to reveal what we are working on.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
