Kingdom Come and Tomb Raider studios reportedly working on Lord of the Rings game

Right before Embracer Group slammed the brakes on its acquisition spree, the company had bought up the Lord of the Rings IP. Now, Embracer is looking to leverage some of its best studios to put together a new LOTR videogame.

According to Insider Gaming, Embracer Group is working on a new Lord of the Rings game intended to rival Hogwarts Legacy in terms of scale and immersion. Apparently, Embracer has two of its best studios working on the project, including a small team at Crystal Dynamics, along with a team at Warhorse Studios.

Warhorse Studios is primarily known for its fantastic RPG series, Kingdom Come Deliverance, which follows the story of Henry, who grows from being an apprentice blacksmith into a full-blown knight. Crystal Dynamics on the other hand is primarily known for the Tomb Raider games.

it is reported that Crystal Dynamics work on this LOTR project is separate to its ongoing work on Tomb Raider, with two new Tomb Raider games set to release over the next year or so – Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst.

KitGuru Says: It has been almost a decade since the Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games, so fans have had to wait quite some time for a new AAA-calibre LOTR game.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
