Kingdom Come developer Warhorse Studios has multiple new games in the works, including a game set in Middle-earth and another game set in the Kingdom Come universe. During a recent broadcast, the developer shared new updates about both projects.
The next Kingdom Come game–which Warhorse stopped short of calling Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3–is set for release during the company’s next fiscal year, IGN reported. That means it is expected to arrive between April 2027 and March 2028.
Not much is known about the game apart from it being labeled an “open-world RPG” and a “new Kingdom Come adventure.”
“We still continue expanding the universe of Kingdom Come,” Warhorse communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling said, as reported by IGN. “That is also very dear to us. Do not forget that Kingdom Come: Deliverance always was and still is and always will be an absolute passion project here in the studio.”
Stolz-Zwilling said it’s important that Kingdom Come fans “don’t have to wait seven years for another Kingdom Come.” And while next financial year is the “aim” for the new Kingdom Come game, Stolz-Zwilling reminded everyone that game development can be messy, so the release target projection could change.
Deliverance 2 lead designer Prokop Jirsa is in charge of the team making the next Kingdom Come game, while Deliverance 2 design director Viktor Bocan leading the development of the untitled Lord of the Rings game.
Stolz-Zwilling said Warhorse has assembled a “mind-blowing team” to make the Lord of the Rings game, and it’s aiming to be “deeply immersive” and a game that has a “living world” featuring “interesting characters, memorable places, and of course a strong narrative focus.”
Beyond these two projects, Warhorse is working on a movie version of Kingdom Come.
In addition to Warhorse’s The Lord of the Rings game, Tomb Raider studio Crystal Dynamics is said to be working on its own The Lord of the Rings project. Both studios are owned by Embracer, which itself owns the gaming rights to The Lord of the Rings.
