Warhorse Studios has not confirmed whether it is making a Lord of the Rings game, after rumours about a Tolkien-set project spread online and the Czech studio answered questions on Reddit. [1, 2]
Ondřej Bittner said the team is hard at work on "something" and described it as a "huge, immersive RPG," while another statement said the next game will be "true to our colours" and "huge, story-driven and immersive." [1, 2]
Rock Paper Shotgun said the rumour first surfaced last month on a Polish Tolkien podcast, before it began circulating more widely in March 2026. Warhorse then faced questions about it in a recent Reddit Q&A. [1, 2]
The studio did not give details on the project, and Tom Grey said, "Obviously we can't comment on future projects, at least not until we're in the future." Warhorse also said its next game reveal would come in the "near future." [1, 2]
