Warhorse Studios revealed a new Kingdom Come title slated for release before Q2 2028, targeting the 2027 fiscal year of parent Embracer Group (April 2027‑March 2028). The video confirmed the game will be an open‑world RPG, expanding the historically grounded series. No gameplay details emerged, but the announcement signals the studio’s next major investment after Deliverance 2, and will launch on PC and consoles.

The new project lists Prokop Jirsa, lead designer on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as creative director, suggesting a continuity of the series’ realistic design ethos. Parallel to the Kingdom Come reveal, Warhorse also announced a Middle‑Earth RPG headed by Viktor Bocan, former design director on Deliverance 2. The condensed timeline hints the Kingdom Come title may be a spin‑off using existing assets rather than a direct sequel.

For gamers craving the series’ meticulous worldbuilding, an open‑world entry promises broader exploration while retaining the franchise’s gritty realism. Industry observers note Embracer’s aggressive pipeline, leveraging proven talent to maximize return on prior investments. With a target launch before Q2 2028, the title will arrive while the market still values deep, historically rooted RPGs.
