The rumours were true, Warhorse are making an open-world Lord of the Rings RPG alongside a new Kingdom Come game

The best practice when you are stranded on a strange new world is to bond with local lifeforms in the most elementary and primordial terms. In this case, I established a point of connection with Victor Lee, director of Europe investments for Subnautica 2 publisher Krafton.
