While the gaming world is shaken by one of the biggest claims of recent years, Czech studio Warhorse, which has proven its maturity with the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series, may be preparing to enter the Lord of the Rings universe. The claims made by Ryszard Chojnowski, a Polish industry veteran and the project leader of the original The Witcher game, were enough to excite Middle Earth fans. Speaking in the podcast “Tolkien Polska”, Chojnowski claimed that Warhorse Studios was working on a huge-budget open world RPG project, based on the information he received from reliable sources.
This situation aroused great curiosity about how the studio, known for its realism, would interpret the greatest masterpiece of fantasy literature. 100 Million Dollar Giant Project: “Revenge Studios” Code Name The origin of the leaks is based on reports shared by Insider Gaming in late 2025. At that time, it was reported that the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) had invested a record $100 million in a new game project set in the Middle-earth universe.
It was known that the project was developed by a studio under the umbrella of Embracer Group and bore the code name “Revenge Studios”. Ryszard Chojnowski put the pieces together, stating that this mysterious studio is actually Warhorse Studios. The studio, known for its detailed and historically faithful approach in the Kingdom Come series, has developed J.R.R. It is expected that Tolkien will treat the universe he created with similar seriousness.
A Hogwarts Legacy Style Experience? The leaked information also gives important clues about the genre of the game and its gameplay mechanics. It is claimed that the new project will be an action-RPG with a third-person perspective, similar to Hogwarts Legacy, one of the biggest hits of the past years. One of the most discussed topics is how to integrate the complex combat systems and deep role-playing elements that Warhorse Studios used in Kingdom Come into the sword and magic-filled atmosphere of Middle Earth.
The fact that Embracer Group owns the Lord of the Rings copyrights makes this collaboration quite logical on paper; However, it remains a mystery what kind of realism the studio will add to the fantastic elements (orcs, spells, elves). Official Announcement is Waiting Although there is no official confirmation for the Lord of the Rings game from Warhorse Studios or the parent company Embracer Group yet, the fact that a name with 27 years of industry experience like Chojnowski makes this claim increases the seriousness of the rumors.
In this period when the development process of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is in its final stages, the studio’s next route is Middle Earth, and “is a new legend being born?” in the game world. It brought with it questions. If the claims are true, players may have the most detailed and “grounded” Lord of the Rings game ever in the coming years.
