Several days ago the developer of Kingdom Come Deliverance, Warhorse Studios, had announced on social media about their next entry in the series which was described as “a new adventure” rather than a new mainline entry in the ‘Deliverance’ saga of titles and also sparked a lot of discussions and theories regarding the upcoming title. However, the studio has recently confirmed that their next title will be an “open-world RPG” and is expected to launch around the next fiscal year.
In their official Twitter/X account, Communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling and community manager Tom Grey have provided a more specific description on the next installment in the Kingdom Come series, while also confirming that Prokop Jirsa, who was the lead designer for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, will be leading the newer title while another of the studio’s upcoming game which is an open world RPG set in the Middle Earth of the Lord of the Rings series, will be led by design director Viktor Bocan.
The devs also stated that the next Kingdom Come game is expected to release as early as the next fiscal year which theoretically puts it’s release window somewhere between April 2027 and March 2028. Which means you can expect another RPG set in the Kingdom Come Universe sometimes in early 2028, in all likelihood. But in anyway, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling has said that we don’t need to wait seven more years for another game in the series which is a relief in itself.
“We won’t have to wait that long until the next game,” Grey said. “That’s the aim.”
Upon it’s release, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was highly praised for it’s exceptional melee combat system and engrossing narrative along with some of the deeper gameplay elements that players just won’t find in most other titles in it’s genre. The game had also sold over 2 Million units after 2 months of it’s release and just a month later had surpassed the 3 Million mark as well.
The game also received a host of post-launch contents including a Hardcore Mode which bumps up the difficulty significantly by introducing a range of modifiers that reduces your character’s overall stats in a number of ways. The RPG also got it’s third major DLC named Mysteria Ecclesiae on November 11 which sees players investigating an intriguing mystery that features a completely new storyline with a fresh batch of quests, characters along with multiple endings.
