Warhorse Studios is working on a Switch 2 port of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Royal Edition, set for a 2027 Japanese release under Deep Silver, while the studio's co-founder continues to publicly discuss the design philosophy behind the series. The original game has sold over 6 million copies as of June 2026.
Warhorse Studios' public profile over the past year has been shaped by three things: the performance of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, a new platform for it, and a tabletop adaptation. Deep Silver announced on September 10 that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Royal Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027 for the Japanese market. The Royal Edition bundles the main game with three story expansions, Death Experience, Legacy of the Forge, and Mystery of the Church, plus limited equipment and a bonus questline. The open-world RPG has sold over 6 million copies as of June 2026.
Before that, Czech Games Edition opened pre-orders at $199.99 for Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game, a competitive deck-building game for 1 to 4 players set in 15th century Bohemia. It features a new story with eight ordinary characters from the original game's world, designed by Vlaada Chvátil and Tomáš Holek, and does not require knowledge of the video game.
In October, co-founder Martin Klima told PC Gamer he is tired of RPGs where the player is a chosen one carrying a mission to save the world, calling the formula too one-note and saying the genre is still games for teenagers. He said that feeling led to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, whose sequel released in 2025. Coverage of Warhorse now splits between the studio's commercial reach into new formats and its founders' continued argument about what an RPG should be about.
