Fans of the acclaimed medieval role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance may be in for some exciting news in the near future. Rumors are swirling that developer Warhorse Studios is set to unveil a sequel to their 2018 hit during a special announcement on April 18.
The speculation began when Warhorse, a subsidiary of publisher Deep Silver, teased an upcoming game reveal on their social media channels. The announcement was accompanied by an image depicting a person riding a horse, leading many to believe the studio’s next project will once again be set in the same historically-inspired world as Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Adding further fuel to the fire, reputable leakers like Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson have stated outright that the reveal will be for “Kingdom 2” – strongly implying a direct sequel to the original game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which launched to widespread critical acclaim over six years ago, has maintained a dedicated fanbase eager for a follow-up. The action RPG’s realistic depiction of 15th century Bohemia and its focus on gritty, authentic gameplay struck a chord with many players.

While Warhorse has not yet officially confirmed the nature of their forthcoming announcement, the breadcrumbs suggest Kingdom Come fans may be in for a treat. The studio’s PR manager, Sir Tobi, has previously hinted that a current-gen upgrade for the first game was unlikely due to the team’s focus on their next big project.
With the April 18 reveal just days away, players won’t have to wait much longer to see what Warhorse has in store. The announcement is slated to take place at 2:00 p.m. ET on the developer’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, giving Kingdom Come devotees the chance to tune in and potentially catch the first glimpse of a long-awaited sequel.
Whether the reveal does indeed showcase Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 or some other new direction for the studio, Warhorse’s next move is sure to have the attention of RPG enthusiasts eager to return to the kingdom of Bohemia. After the resounding success of the original title, the pressure will be on for the developer to deliver an encore that lives up to the legacy of their beloved medieval adventure.
