Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has become a big success for publisher Deep Silver with 5x the revenue than the first game in the US at launch, so it's no surprise that a new game is already in the works. The project was actually confirmed in Embracer Group's recent earnings report, where it also announced that Warhorse would now be joining Fellowship Entertainment, a new company spun off by Embracer that now leads IPs like Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and the aforementioned Kingdom Come.

Now we have comments from Warhorse on the timing of the next KC game. In a recent stream, studio communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling says the game will ideally be out by next fiscal year, which corresponds with the April 2027 - March 2028 timeframe. He also confirmed that KCD2 creative director Prokop Jirsa will lead the core team behind the new KC title.

"You can expect two open-world RPGs. One is a Kingdom Come open-world RPG, the other one is a Middle-earth open-world RPG. Both of them are coming.

"If everything goes right, it comes next fiscal year. Which means you don't have to wait seven years for another Kingdom Come game. That is good!

"So, two open-world RPGs coming, and more info on that in the future."

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 remains one of the fastest-selling games of 2025 with 1 million copies sold in its first day, and then 2 million in under two weeks, finally reaching 5 million copies in its first year.

There's not a lot of info on the Middle-earth RPG, however it's been revealed that Amazon's planned Lord of the Rings MMORPG has been scrapped.
