Following Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios' confirmation of all the open-world Lord of the Rings RPG rumors, a bit of a realization has hit: the fact that the team is working on a Middle-earth-based game is, well, unsurprising.
And, no, I don't mean it's unsurprising just because of the rumors that have been circulating prior to Warhorse Studios' official reveal. It's unsurprising because the dev's previous RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is downright filled to the brim with little Lord of the Rings references and Easter eggs.
A quick glance at the game's official Reddit page showcases as much, with folks noting them since the Kingdom Come sequel's release in early 2025.
