Warhorse Studios Reportedly Working on Fantasy Title and Next-Gen Patch for KCD
Even as fans eagerly await the 2025 release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, speculation is already buzzing about what Warhorse Studios might be cooking up next. A Reddit user, known for previous accurate predictions, has reportedly shed some light on the Czech studio's future projects, including a potential pivot to a fantasy setting and a significant update for their acclaimed first game.
The source of these new claims is Reddit user 'bertik11', who previously forecasted the delay of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II to 2025. Citing what they describe as internal studio sources, bertik11 shared several intriguing details that, while still unconfirmed, have sparked considerable discussion within the gaming community.
A New Fantasy Horizon for Warhorse?
According to bertik11, Warhorse Studios is not working on a game set in the Lord of the Rings universe, refuting a prior rumor. However, the leaker asserted that the studio does indeed have a project in development that is set within a fantasy world. Specific details about this rumored fantasy game are currently unavailable, leaving much to the imagination regarding its scope and style.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance to Get a Major Update
Beyond a potential new IP, bertik11 also hinted at continued support for the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The leak suggests a substantial update for the game is planned before April 2026. Many believe this will be a next-generation patch, aimed at enhancing the game's performance and visuals for players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Such an update would be welcome news for fans looking to revisit Henry's adventures with improved fidelity.
Studio's Intentions Align with Rumors
These rumors gain a degree of credibility when considering previous statements from Warhorse Studios itself. Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the studio’s community manager, confirmed before the opening of their new Brno office that Warhorse intends to begin development on their next game alongside the creation of promised DLCs for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Stolz-Zwilling also reiterated the team’s commitment to developing “deep and cinematic role-playing games,” a philosophy that could certainly apply to a new fantasy universe.
While these leaks remain unverified and should be taken with a grain of salt, they offer an exciting glimpse into Warhorse Studios' potential future. A next-gen patch for the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance would undoubtedly please its dedicated fanbase, and a new fantasy RPG would mark a fascinating new direction for a studio celebrated for its meticulous historical realism. Players will have to wait for official announcements from Warhorse Studios to confirm whether these intriguing rumors hold true.
