Warhorse Studios Announces Middle-earth RPG Following Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios has officially confirmed that it is currently developing two major projects: a new role-playing game set in the Middle-earth universe and an upcoming addition to the Kingdom Come franchise. The developer, which is owned by Embracer Group, announced the titles via a social media update on May 20, 2026. The studio described the Middle-earth project as an “open world” role-playing game. While the announcement confirms the studio’s entry into J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy setting, the developer has not provided specific details regarding the game’s timeline or narrative placement within the franchise’s lore. Simultaneously, the studio confirmed that a “new Kingdom Come adventure” is in active development. This announcement follows the success of the studio’s previous work, which includes the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance and its sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. The studio has not yet clarified whether this new project will be a direct sequel, such as a third installment in the series, or a spin-off title. The news coincides with a broader organizational shift at Embracer Group, which recently announced plans to spin off Fellowship Entertainment as a standalone business unit. This move is intended to prioritize the development and management of the company’s most significant intellectual properties. Warhorse Studios has not provided a release window or further project details, noting only that they intend to share more information when the time is right.
