New installment of Kingdom Come may be released as soon as next year according to Warhorse.

Back to Bohemia, the beloved game studio Warhorse Studios has some exciting news for its fans. It has been confirmed that the highly anticipated follow-up to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may be released as soon as next year. While there is no official title yet, all signs point to a spin-off adventure in the same universe.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been a massive success for Warhorse Studios, gaining critical acclaim and selling over five million copies since its release in February last year. Riding on this success, the studio has recently announced that they are currently working on two new projects - an open world RPG based on Lord of the Rings and a new Kingdom Come adventure. Fans were given more details about the upcoming title from Warhorse's communications director, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, during a livestream last Friday.

While it has not been confirmed that the new game is not Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3, it is expected to be a smaller scale evolution from its predecessor. Stolz-Zwilling revealed that the game is scheduled to launch in the next fiscal year, which could mean anytime between April 2027 and March 2028. But that's not all the exciting news from Warhorse Studios.

The team has also confirmed that the next game in the series will be another open world RPG, similar to the previous two games. This suggests that they will be utilizing the world and mechanics from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to achieve a quicker turnaround for the new game. It could potentially be a smaller scale offering, similar to games like Dying Light: The Beast or Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

This also means that the highly anticipated Lord of the Rings game will take longer to release, as it will require more effort to build the assets and replicate J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved world. The team at Warhorse is excited to share more details about these projects when the time is right.

The next Kingdom Come game will be led by Prokop Jirsa, the designer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, while Viktor Bocan is heading the Lord of the Rings team. With a reported 250 employees in 2024, Warhorse Studios has a lot on its plate with two open world RPGs in the works. But with a dedicated and talented team, they are determined to bring these projects to life for their fans.

Can they pull off the Lord of the Rings game? Only time will tell. In the meantime, fans can stay updated by signing up for the GameCentral newsletter and following Warhorse Studios on social media.
