The next Kingdom Come game is an "open-world RPG," Warhorse confirms

The reveal that a new Kingdom Come game is in development has been a rollercoaster for fans. First, there was the revelation that, not only is Warhorse making a new open-world Lord of the Rings game, but it’s also working on a whole new Kingdom Come project. Many including myself had feared Kingdom Come was being shelved to make space for Lord of the Rings, but somehow the relatively small studio has space for two ambitious sounding new projects.

However, because the announcement specifically said there was a new Kingdom Come “adventure” in development, and not specifically a game, there was some confusion about what form this new Kingdom Come title would take. Is it a TTRPG? A comic book spinoff? The movie that was announced six years ago? Nope, Warhorse parent company Embracer quickly confirmed the project is indeed a video game in the traditional sense, but that still left us wondering if it’s an RPG like the first two games or something else entirely. My pie-in-the-sky was a survival horror spinoff, but alas, Warhorse has now confirmed in no uncertain terms that the next Kingdom Come game is indeed “an open-world RPG.”
