Back in the era of Peter Jackson\u2019s <em>Lord Of The Rings<\/em> trilogy, the films received a series of tie-in hack-and-slash games that were surprisingly above the bar for licensed movie games at the time (and allowed you to gleefully tear through orcs as Gandalf). In more recent years, the franchise has seen the highs of the <em>Shadow Of Mordor<\/em> series, which blended <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em>-style gameplay with Monolith\u2019s (RIP) incredible Nemesis System. Then there were the lows, namely <em>The Lord of the Rings: Gollum<\/em>, which the less said about, the better.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>However, those looking for a big Middle-earth RPG in the vein of <em>Skyrim<\/em> or <em>Avowed<\/em> may finally be in luck, as Warhorse Studios \u2013 the team behind the critically acclaimed <em>Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/em> series \u2013 has announced on social media that it is working on an \u201copen-world Middle-earth RPG\u201d, alongside a new <em>Kingdom Come<\/em> game. Details are scarce, but it\u2019s safe to assume this may not be set during the events of <em>The Lord Of The Rings<\/em>, and could instead explore another part of Tolkien\u2019s wider fantasy world and timeline.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Warhorse seems like a very strong fit for Tolkien\u2019s world, given its approach to immersive worlds and realistic melee combat from the <em>Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/em> series \u2013 it\u2019s easy to imagine how that might look when blended with Hobbits, Orcs, Elves and more. Given how strict the studio has traditionally been about historical accuracy, this would mark a major departure for Warhorse as it heads into fiction territory, but considering its strength in telling expansive, grounded stories, the One Ring appears to be in very safe hands. And, with a new season of The Rings Of Power arriving this year, alongside an all-new Lord Of The Rings film next year, it seems there will be no shortage of Middle-earth any time soon.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middle-earth is no stranger to the world of video games.
