Warhorse has revealed that a new Kingdom Come "adventure" is in the works alongside the studio's rumored open-world Lord of the Rings RPG, but whenever I hear a game developer use words like adventure, experience, I naturally question whether that adventure or experience is really a video game at all. Well, thanks to Embracer Group CEO Phil Rogers, we now know it is indeed a game, but beyond that, the project is pretty much entirely shrouded in mystery.
In a video presentation accompanying Embracer's full year report for fiscal year 2025/2026, Rogers briefly spoke on the new Kingdom Come project, calling it simply "the unannounced production" in development with "the amazing team at Warhorse." Rogers said now "isn't the time to say more" and that "there'll be later dates" by "different people," but said he thinks it'll be "something the fans will love" and "a game we hope to get into their hands next fiscal year."
Boom. There you have it, folks. Warhorse is working on a Kingdom Come "game," not a TTRPG or comic book tie-in or whatever else might fall under the umbrella of a "Kingdom Come adventure." As for release timing, Embracer's next fiscal year begins in April 2027 and ends in March 2028, so that means, assuming everything goes down without a hitch—which of course is a huge if—we could get a new Kingdom Come game as early as April 2027.
What I want to know is, is the game an RPG? For a studio that said as recently as November 2025 that it wants to be "the new kings of RPG," it's peculiar that Warhorse specified its new Lord of the Rings game as an RPG but decided on the word adventure to describe its next Kingdom Come game. It's definitely sounding like some sort of spinoff at this point, but into what genre? There are some horror elements dusted into Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Brushes with Death DLC, and I personally thought they were really well done. On the other hand, I shudder at the thought of a Kingdom Come roguelike, so like, can it please just not be that, Warhorse?
