Fans craving the next entry in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchise won't have to wait too long, as Warhorse Studios has announced that the next game in the series could launch as soon as next year. The future of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series has been in question ever since rumors began circulating about Warhorse Studios' next project.
Mixing a dense, historically accurate open world with a fun set of characters and intricate gameplay mechanics, Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been a widely celebrated RPG since its release in 2018. Most recently, Warhorse Studios launched Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in early 2025, building on everything the first game did and making it even better while also addressing the main complaints fans had about the original. Warhorse's work paid off as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 launched to great critical acclaim and was a frontrunner in Game of the Year discussions, right next to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. A year later, a few rumors began to circulate that Warhorse was developing a game set in the Lord of the Rings universe, which Warhorse itself confirmed during a developer livestream on May 21, 2026.
