Warhorse Studios, the creators of the 2018 RPG hit Kingdom Come: Deliverance, are set to announce their new game on April 18. The announcement comes six years after the release of their acclaimed debut title and has sparked speculation about a possible sequel.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance, despite its initial divisive reception due to its difficulty and buggy launch, managed to amass a sizable following and reportedly sold six million copies. The game’s ambitious approach to medieval RPG, set in 15th century Bohemia, received praise for its stunning landscapes and authentic portrayal of historical settings. Its emphasis on player choices and survival systems, along with an authentic swordplay experience, contributed to its appeal.
With the RPG genre witnessing a surge in popularity, particularly with demanding titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dragon’s Dogma 2, the timing seems ripe for Warhorse Studios to unveil their next project. The studio’s unforgiving approach to Central Europe medieval survival is expected to resonate well with the current gaming audience.
While the performance issues of Kingdom Come: Deliverance have reportedly been addressed, the game continues to be lauded for providing a satisfying and rewarding role-playing experience. The recent release of a Nintendo Switch port further extended the game’s reach.
The official announcement is scheduled to be streamed on YouTube and Twitch on Thursday, April 18 at 8pm CEST. Fans and enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of Warhorse Studios’ next venture and the potential for a sequel to the critically acclaimed Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
