According to rumors, Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse Studios is working on a big-budget LOTR game, seemingly backed by investors from the UAE.

The IP is owned by Embracer Group, one of the parties said to be involved in this deal, and a publisher that previously had dealings with Arabian investors.
