Warhorse’s rumored Lord of the rings RPG to cost $100 million

In a recent episode of the Tolkien Podcast, Ryszard Chojnowski, a well-known veteran Polish game developer who has history with the other RPG powerhouse in the region: CD Projekt Red, said that Warhorse’s next big RPG will be a massive open world Lord of the Rings game and that it’ll cost quite a pretty penny to produce.

“Kingdom Come 2 developers, Warhorse Studios, are reportedly working on a huge $100 million Lord of the Rings game. This would be a massive shift from their historical roots but fits perfectly within the Embracer Group’s portfolio.”

Chojnowski’s claim that the game would cost $100 million would mean that the project would more than double the reported cost of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which took around $40 million to develop. With the bold shift from medieval RPGs to a high fantasy game set in one of the biggest media franchises of all time, the leap in budget makes sense.
