Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3 May Arrive in 2027–28, Warhorse Hints

Warhorse Studios says the next Kingdom Come adventure is targeting its next fiscal year (April 2027–March 2028), potentially delivering Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3 sooner than the seven-year gap between KCD1 and KCD2. Described as a new Kingdom Come open-world RPG, the project may run alongside Warhorse’s open-world Middle-earth game, with no official date yet. Fan expectations are mixed—optimistic about a faster release but wary about compromising quality—while the franchise rides momentum from KCD2’s ~5 million copies sold and a film in development.

Embracer to Spin Off Fellowship Entertainment as Standalone Unit Amid Earnings Slump

Embracer Group will spin off Fellowship Entertainment as a separately listed company while restructuring for efficiency after reporting a 24% fall in Q4 net sales and a SEK 7.2 billion non-cash impairment. Fellowship will focus on premium IP (Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Tomb Raider, The Lord of the Rings, Dead Island, Darksiders, Remnant) and target at least two major game releases annually from FY27/28, while the remaining Embracer entity pursues tighter costs and disciplined capital allocation. Müge Bouillon was named deputy CEO to strengthen governance, and Embracer will begin segment reporting in Q1 FY2026/27.
