Warhorse Studios confirms a new Kingdom Come game will launch sooner than anticipated, offering fans an exciting update on the series.
Warhorse Studios has officially confirmed that the next installment in the Kingdom Come game series will be released much sooner than initially expected. This announcement was made by Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR director of Warhorse, during an interview at ChinaJoy 2026. The game is now projected to launch within the studio's next fiscal year, which spans from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2028.
Earlier this year, Warhorse revealed it was developing a new game set in The Lord of the Rings universe alongside another entry in the Kingdom Come franchise. These announcements raised questions about the timeline for the launch of the new Kingdom Come title, as fans were initially led to believe it would take longer to materialize. However, the recent confirmation has excited the fanbase, suggesting that a new adventure in the Kingdom Come universe is nearer than previously thought.
Despite the positive news regarding the release timeline, details about the new Kingdom Come game remain limited. When Warhorse referred to the project, it described it as “a new Kingdom Come adventure,” but did not specify whether it would be a full-length RPG or a smaller scale spin-off. This lack of specificity has led to some speculation that it may not be as expansive or immersive as its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which is still fresh in the minds of fans after its recent release.
The decision to classify the new title merely as an “adventure” implies a potentially different format. This smaller, quicker development cycle may be why Warhorse can release it ahead of other larger projects.
Besides the upcoming Kingdom Come title, Warhorse is also working on an expansive RPG set in The Lord of the Rings universe. This project is expected to be considerably more ambitious and, consequently, will require significantly more time to develop. According to industry analysts, this could mean that fans may have to wait several more years before seeing the light of day for the Lord of the Rings game, increasing the anticipation around the upcoming Kingdom Come release as a means to keep fans engaged in the interim.
With Gamescom on the horizon, fans are hopeful that more details or even gameplay reveals for either the new Kingdom Come title or the Lord of the Rings project might be showcased. Warhorse has yet to announce when specific details will be made public, but the upcoming gaming event could offer a prime opportunity for updates.
The announcement about the new Kingdom Come game signifies a shift in development strategy for Warhorse Studios, emphasizing a quicker turnaround of content for eager fans. This approach not only keeps players engaged but also sets the stage for potential future expansions in both existing franchises. As both titles are explored further, fans are left to anticipate what could be exciting additions to the gaming landscape. Continued interaction with the community during events like Gamescom may also help to bolster interest in these projects.
