Warhorse Studios aims 2027 release for new Kingdom Come RPG

Warhorse Studios has announced that the next installment in its Kingdom Come series is targeting a release in the next fiscal year, a significantly shorter development cycle than the seven-year gap between the first two major titles. The new game is confirmed to be an open-world role-playing game, with a potential launch window between April 1, 2027, and March 31, 2028.

The announcement was made by Communications Director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling during a community livestream following the studio's recent confirmation of two major projects.

Prokop Jirsa, the lead designer and creative director for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, is leading the development of the new Kingdom Come game.
