Embracer Maps Out Its Next Big Releases: Darksiders 4 and a New Kingdom Come by March 2028
Embracer Group has put a deadline on two of its most anticipated titles: Darksiders 4 and a new game in the Kingdom Come series are both expected to launch by the end of March 2028, according to the Swedish games group's latest interim report, published on August 13, 2026 (VGC).
The disclosure came inside Embracer's Q1 financial report for the April–June 2026 quarter, which reported Cash EBIT of SEK 47 million. The 2027/28 financial year — the window these games are targeting — runs from April 2027 to March 2028. Neither game has been officially announced by name, but both studios attached to them are well established. Darksiders 4 is in development at Gunfire Games, the Arizona-based studio behind the previous entries in the action-adventure series. The next Kingdom Come is being handled by Warhorse Studios, the Czech developer whose 2025 release Kingdom Come: Deliverance II — a medieval role-playing game — continued to show strong commercial momentum, according to Embracer's annual report.
There is a breadcrumb for the Kingdom Come title. A trademark for "Kingdom Come Salvation" was filed on the EU Intellectual Property Office website the month before this report surfaced. Whether that filing names the next game or covers something broader remains unconfirmed. For Darksiders, publisher THQ Nordic teased a new entry back in August 2024 with a trailer that declared: "Be prepared to ride again."
The same interim report outlined a fuller release calendar. Embracer expects Metro 2039, a new entry in the post-apocalyptic first-person shooter series from 4A Games, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis to both arrive in February 2027. Another Tomb Raider title, Catalyst, developed by Crystal Dynamics alongside Flying Wild Hog and Eidos Montréal, is externally published and also slated for the 2027/28 financial year. The investor presentation lists Darksiders 4 as targeting PC and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
For fans, the slate answers a question that has hovered over Embracer since the company announced plans to split into two listed companies — a new entity named Fellowship, set to house the group's largest franchises including Kingdom Come (Reuters). The release roadmap suggests Embracer is building toward that separation with a pipeline of known properties rather than unproven bets. Warhorse is also separately developing a game set in the world of Lord of the Rings (Reuters), though no release window has been given for that project.
One caveat worth noting: in its Q1 report a year earlier, for the April–June 2025 quarter, Embracer reported adjusted EBIT of SEK 75 million and flagged that "one or a couple" of its planned games would likely slip into FY 2028/29. Release windows in the games industry are targets, not guarantees, and Embracer's own forecasting history includes acknowledged slippage. A moved date is a production fact. For now, the company's stated plan is what it is — two beloved franchises aiming for the same financial year.
