Darksiders 4, Next Kingdom Come Game Both Planned to Launch Before March 2028
THQ Nordic expects Darksiders 4 and the next Kingdom Come game to launch during its 2027/28 financial year, placing both releases no later than March 2028. The plans matter because they provide the clearest public release window yet for two significant franchises, although neither game has a confirmed date.
Darksiders 4, announced in August 2025 and developed by Gunfire Games, is set after the original game and will let players choose between the four Horsemen, each with different gameplay. Warhorse Studios’ next Kingdom Come title, reportedly likely to be called Kingdom Come Salvation, is only confirmed as another open-world RPG; both games may therefore arrive in 2027.
In short
- Darksiders 4 and a new Kingdom Come game target release by March 2028.
- Both are key THQ Nordic releases for 2027/28.
- Detailed release dates and gameplay information remain unconfirmed.
Explained simply
THQ Nordic is a video game publisher, while Gunfire Games and Warhorse Studios are developers. Darksiders is an action game series built around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a role-playing series known for its open world and medieval setting.
The next Darksiders is planned to follow the original game and let players choose among the four Horsemen, who have different abilities and styles of play. Warhorse has confirmed another open-world role-playing game, but has shared little about its story or setting.
The franchises matter to their publishers and have established audiences, so release plans offer a sense of when two major follow-ups may arrive. A financial year runs on a company’s accounting calendar, and neither game has a confirmed release date.
