Embracer Group’s latest financial reporting points to a possible release window for two big projects still shrouded in uncertainty: Darksiders 4 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 3. The documents don’t give exact dates, but they do outline which fiscal year the publisher expects these games to arrive, placing them within a broad stretch from April 2027 through the end of March 2028.

Key takeaways

  • Financial documents from Embracer indicate Darksiders 4 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 3 are targeted for fiscal year 2027/2028.
  • The expected launch period corresponds to dates between April 2027 and March 2028.
  • Both titles are listed under Embracer’s forward-looking plans, but the company’s windows remain wide and subject to change.
  • Darksiders 4 was first revealed at the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2024 and later shown again at THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2025.
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 3 remains unconfirmed in terms of branding, with trademark records suggesting a different naming approach.

Broad fiscal-year windows for two major projects

Embracer’s reporting frames the release expectations for upcoming entries in its active development pipeline as fiscal-year targets rather than fixed launch dates. In this case, the company points to fiscal year 2027/2028 for both the next Kingdom Come game from Warhorse Studios and Darksiders 4 from Gunfire Games.

Because the documents reference the fiscal year in which Embracer expects the titles to reach the market, the publisher’s timeline is inherently flexible. Any delays or schedule adjustments are still possible.

Why the 2027/2028 window stands out

This fiscal year is also the same period Embracer expects Tomb Raider Catalyst to release, placing multiple notable releases on the calendar at once. That makes 2027/2028 a particularly high-profile window for the publisher—assuming no shifts occur between now and then.

For players following the two series, the timing matters mostly as a planning signal: it’s a concrete year range, even if it’s not a date. The window still allows for changes, but it narrows the conversation compared to earlier uncertainty.

Status updates on Darksiders 4 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 3

Darksiders 4 entered the public view through trailers shown at THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2024, roughly two years prior to the later reveal. It was also presented again with an official trailer at the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2025.

From what’s been shown so far, Darksiders 4 continues the action-focused, third-person approach of the series and is described as being set in a mythological setting.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 3, by contrast, is still largely unknown beyond its existence as a successor-in-development. Even its final name is not confirmed. Trademark registrations have led to speculation that the game could be titled Kingdom Come Salvation and feature a structure that differs from previous entries, but there is currently no official information to confirm those details.
