Warhorse Studios has confirmed that their next project is already in development. It will be a large-scale immersive RPG, maintaining the genre that made them famous after the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. In a Reddit AMA, the developers made it clear they will not change course, although they did not specify whether it will be a direct sequel or a completely new IP. Expectations among the studio's followers are high.
Graphics engine and mechanics: the challenge of historical fidelity 🛡️
Warhorse's technical team faces the challenge of optimizing their proprietary engine to offer a denser and more detailed open world. Improvements will focus on NPC artificial intelligence, day-night cycles, and a more polished combat system. According to internal sources, they seek a balance between realism and gameplay, avoiding falling into excessive simulations that bog down the pace. Performance on current-generation consoles will be a priority.
The usual drama: sequel, prequel, or spin-off? 🤔
As with any good role-playing saga, uncertainty is part of the charm. Fans are already speculating whether they will once again embody Henry, travel to Bohemia's past, or explore unknown lands. Meanwhile, Warhorse simply smiles and says we're working on it. With any luck, the official announcement won't take as long as a game of Kingdom Come without riding a horse.
