Warhorse Studios wants everyone to know its next Kingdom Come project is sticking to the series’ roots. In a brief official update, the developer confirmed the unannounced game will be an “open-world RPG,” and the current plan targets a launch during the next fiscal year. No name, no platforms, no gameplay details — just a clear statement of intent.
What We Know So Far
The information is deliberately light. Warhorse hasn’t shared a subtitle, setting, or even whether this is a direct sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance or a new story in the same universe. The one concrete promise is the genre: open-world RPG. That alone tells you the studio isn’t pivoting to a linear experience or a live-service experiment.

Fiscal year timing always invites some guessing. Warhorse operates under Embracer Group’s Plaion division, and without a specific calendar, the safest reading is a release somewhere between April 2027 and March 2028. That’s a wide window, but it matches the scale the team is hinting at. For more context, GamerHeadlines has also covered RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 will be a mobile game Gaming News Mobile Gaming.
The Legacy of Kingdom Come
The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance arrived in 2018 and sold over 5 million copies by leaning hard into historical accuracy, brutal first-person combat, and a grounded medieval world. It was janky in places but won a dedicated audience by refusing to hand the player superhuman powers. A sequel has been expected for years, especially after strong post-launch support and DLC.
What an Open-World RPG Could Mean
Calling the new game an open-world RPG isn’t surprising, but it’s still a meaningful commitment. It suggests the team is doubling down on the systems-driven simulation that defined the first game — reputation mechanics, survival elements, and large explorable regions that react to your choices. If Warhorse is willing to label the project this early, it’s likely the core loop is already in a playable state.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
This is a placeholder announcement meant to reassure fans without revealing anything substantial. No screenshots, no trailer, no release date — just a studio confirming it’s making the game everybody expects them to make. The fiscal year window is wide enough to move, so don’t mark a calendar yet. We’ll get real details when Warhorse is ready, but for now, another open-world RPG set in the Kingdom Come universe is officially in the works.
