What is the next Kingdom Come game?
Warhorse confirms an open-world RPG
Warhorse Studios has confirmed its next Kingdom Come project will be an open-world RPG, and it’s expected to launch in its next fiscal year. The announcement positions the sequel as a return to the “open-world RPG” format, rather than a spin-off in a different genre.
This matters for players because the Kingdom Come series is strongly associated with grounded medieval simulation and large, explorable worlds. An “open-world RPG” framing also signals that Warhorse is continuing to invest in its own approach to systemic gameplay—combat, progression, and exploration—on a larger scale than smaller side projects.
The same development cycle also connects to broader studio momentum: Warhorse is working on additional major projects, including a Lord of the Rings open-world RPG. While those other announcements are separate, they reinforce that Warhorse sees its next Kingdom Come effort as a flagship product.
What we know from the confirmation
- The next installment is described specifically as an “open-world RPG.”
- Its target window is Warhorse’s next fiscal year.
What remains unconfirmed
No details were provided here about setting, specific gameplay mechanics, platform plans, or how closely it will tie into prior Kingdom Come storylines.
Overall, the confirmation turns earlier uncertainty into a clearer signal: Warhorse is aiming to deliver another full-scale RPG entry, and it’s planning it as a next-step evolution of the series rather than an experimental detour.
