You can reach them at James.t@thegamer.com Earlier this year, Warhorse Studios confirmed that a Kingdom Come Deliverance sequel was in development, aiming to launch by April 2028 at the earliest. However, it might not be a 'Deliverance' sequel, per se. As reported by The Phrasemaker, a new trademark has been filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for a "computer gaming software" titled Kingdom Come Salvation. And while the owner remains anonymous, the identical font style and Prague attorney address all but confirm that it belongs to Warhorse. The rest of the trademark is boilerplate for triple-A games, but it does mention "entertainment services for matching users," hinting that multiplayer may be on the cards. It's not definitive proof and should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's an interesting detail nonetheless. While the trademark doesn't provide much else in the way of info, the new title does indicate that Warhorse is pivoting away from numbered sequels towards a more approachable franchise model. After all, jumping into a series with a subtitled sequel like Salvation is far more palatable than the third entry in a trilogy. We can only speculate on what the title itself might mean. Deliverance was intrinsically tied to Henry's personal arc—his quest to deliver justice to those who killed his family in the raid on Skalitz—which he fulfilled in the second game. Salvation may be alluding to a new chapter in Henry's life, or an altogether new protagonist for the series. Is Kingdom Come Salvation Going To War? What The Title Might Mean The term 'salvation' carried a lot of weight in 15th century Bohemia, as the region became the epicenter of the Hussite Wars, a bloody religious conflict where opposing factions fought over the true nature of spiritual absolution. The core debate centered on how believers received salvation, as the centuries preceding saw the Catholic Church restrict the sacramental wine (the blood of Christ) strictly to priests, while laypeople only received bread (the flesh). This was challenged in 1414 by Jacob of Mies, a professor of philosophy at the University of Prague, who pointed to the Gospel of John, which commanded, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." He argued that both were needed for salvation, and that the Church was damning millions in refusing. And so formed two camps: the Catholic Doctrine of only offering bread to laypeople, and the Hussite Utraquism of offering bread and wine to all. Five years later, in 1419, the Hussite Wars broke out after Czech theologian and philosopher Jan Hus was burned at the stake for denouncing the wealth and moral corruption of the clergy, which was deemed heresy. Sigismund planned to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor, which required a papal coronation, and so he suppressed the growing sect of Hussites—eventually being granted permission from the pope to launch a crusade against them. The narrative of Kingdom Come Salvation could easily pivot towards Henry or a newcomer caught in the crossfire of this holy war.
