Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the popular role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, is getting ready to reveal its next game.
The Czech studio took to X/Twitter on Thursday to announce that it would be revealing a new game on April 18 at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Fans immediately began buzzing about the possibility of a sequel to Kingdom Come, which earned a loyal following thanks to the way that it grounded its Skyrim-like design in a more realistic medieval open world.

Referring to Kingdom Come’s protagonist, one fans asked, “Oh my god are we finally gonna see the rest of Henry’s story?”
First released in 2018, Kingdom Come Deliverance has consistently topped lists of the best RPGs. We wrote in our review at the time, “There’s a shining suit of mail underneath Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s authentically medieval grime. Strong characters and storytelling, one of my favorite first-person melee combat systems ever, and special attention given to building moment-to-moment immersion come together as a mighty alloy that ranks among the most unique, memorable RPGs I’ve played in years.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and also received a Switch release last March.
Shortly after the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Warhorse Studios was acquired by Plaion, the company formerly known as Koch Media that includes Deep Silver. Plaion is part of the Embracer Group, which recently underwent layoffs and cancellations amid heavy restructuring.
We’ll know soon enough what Warhorse Studios has in store. In the meantime, check out all the biggest game releases of 2024.
