00:00New Kingdom Come and Lord of the Rings game announced by Warhorse Studio.
00:04I gotta say, I'm not surprised by this because I was already covering rumors that were specifying New Kingdom Come
00:10game and Lord of the Rings game.
00:11But the thing that I'm interested the most is all about how Warhorse Studio will adapt their specific design philosophy
00:18that could fit the Lord of the Rings scenario.
00:21As you probably know, Warhorse excels at grounded immersion, slower pacing, believable worlds and systems that make you live in
00:28the setting.
00:29And Warhorse could absolutely nail that feeling.
00:32However, for me, it's especially interesting is whether they keep the grounded approach from KCD2 or adapt towards something more
00:39traditionally fantasy driven.
00:41The biggest concern here, however, is scale.
00:43Because Middle Earth is one of the biggest fantasy IPs on Earth and expectations will be insane.
00:49Yeah, Warhorse is talented, but this is a massive leap from a historical RPG to one of the most beloved
00:54fictional universes ever created.
00:56So you could say that this has enormous potential because Warhorse's strengths actually match Tolkien's world better than most studios
01:02would.
01:03But the key question is whether they are allowed to make a Warhorse style Middle Earth game or whether the
01:08franchise pressures turn into something safer and more generic.
