The New Open-World Lord of the Rings Game May Be the Most Grounded Franchise RPG Yet

Warhorse has confirmed it is making a long-rumored Middle-earth RPG.

The studio’s track record with Kingdom Come: Deliverance suggests a realism-first, highly authentic approach.

That could make this one of the most grounded Lord of the Rings games yet, especially in an open-world format.

The project may set a new benchmark for how fantasy RPGs balance immersion and fidelity.
