In a new Community Stream, communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling and community manager Tom Grey clarified this fact, along with reaffirming a potential release in fiscal year 2027 (so anywhere between April 1st, 2027, and March 31st, 2028). The new title is led by Prokop Jirsa, who served as lead designer on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Meanwhile, the Middle-earth RPG is helmed by the same title’s design director, Viktor Bocan.

Why doesn’t Warhorse Studios call it Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3? Given that the last title served as the end of Henry’s adventure, perhaps it’s the start of a brand new story. It’s further reinforced by Stolz-Zwilling saying that they would “continue expanding the universe of Kingdom Come. That is also very dear to us. Do not forget that Kingdom Come: Deliverance always was and still is and always will be an absolute passion project here in the studio.”

Of course, there’s no release date for the Middle-earth RPG or really anything about its gameplay and mechanics. Interestingly, rumors claim that Crystal Dynamics is working on a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings. How this will differ from Warhorse’s effort remains to be seen, so stay tuned for updates.

Interestingly, Embracer Group also made note of the fact that the “new Kingdom Come adventure” doesn’t include the “Deliverance” part of the franchise’s name, which indicates that we might be getting an entirely new story in the same setting that focuses on a new cast of characters. Whether this means we will also see any changes made to the open-world RPG series’ gameplay also remains to be seen.

Considering the fact that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and all of its DLCs had been released over the course of 2025, the fact that a new Kingdom Come adventure is already in full development also indicates that it might be a smaller-scoped project than we’ve seen Warhorse Studios tackle in the past.

Warhorse Studios had confirmed that the project was in the works earlier this week, alongside announcing that it was also working on an open-world RPG that would be set in The Lord of the Rings‘ Middle-earth. However, no further details about this second project have been revealed either, and the fact that it was referred to as a Middle-earth RPG rather than a The Lord of the Rings RPG indicates that its storyline might not intersect with the adventure of Frodo Baggins much.

The studio’s community manager, Tom Grey, had previously addressed rumors about a game based on The Lord of the Rings being in the works by noting that he couldn’t comment on future projects at the time. However, content director Ondrej Bittner said that it was a “huge, immersive RPG.” The comment was likely referring to the Middle-earth RPG.

The Kingdom Come series has been quite successful for Warhorse Studios, with the company confirming back in February that the latest entry—Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—had sold 5 million copies.

“Five million Henrys are now adventuring in Bohemia! Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has officially reached this massive milestone, and it is all thanks to you. Our community is growing every single day, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you with us. Thank you for making this journey unforgettable,” wrote the studio in its announcement.

The milestone was hit just a few months after the RPG had sold 4 million copies back in November, shortly after the release of the final planned DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—Mysteria Ecclesiae.

For more details, check out our review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. And while you’re at it, also take a look at our thoughts on PS5 release of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which was released earlier this year and includes a host of enhancements over its PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Of course, further details will have to wait until the “time is right.” Rumors of Warhorse’s involvement began in March, seemingly referring to the same Lord of the Rings project reported back in September 2025. The latter has the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) allegedly providing a partial investment of about $100 million.

While little is known about it, the project will reportedly go toe-to-toe with WB Games’ Hogwarts Legacy. However, a new report from Insider Gaming later alleged that Crystal Dynamics was the developer (though it didn’t refute Warhorse making its own title in the same universe).

With the Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer referring to it as a “Middle-earth” RPG instead of an entry in The Lord of the Rings saga, it could very well be something completely different. How it will pan out remains to be seen, but given the acclaim that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 received – and promises that Warhorse’s next game would be a “huge, immersive RPG” – there are certainly high expectations.

Stay tuned for more updates as usual. As for the new Kingdom Come title, perhaps a spin-off with Sir Hans Capon as the leading man? We can only hope.

ChAIR’s Infinity Blade series seems to finally be concluding as the third game will be receiving its final update, dubbed Kingdom Come. This update is essentially DLC and will be out on September 4th. It adds a new world, new items and weapons, new enemies and a brand new dragon to slay.

A tribute video for Infinity Blade has also been revealed which shows off some content from Kingdom Come. Check it out above and let us know what you think.

Infinity Blade is essentially one of Epic Games’ most successful franchises of all time. It’s available for iOS across three iterations and currently has more than 50 million players worldwide. In case that didn’t tip you off, it’s a fairly good game that should be experienced (if you own an iOS device that is). But what are your thoughts on the series coming to an end with Kingdom Come?
