Warhorse trademarks ‘Kingdom Come Salvation’ as fans pray in unison for another open-world RPG
Warhorse Studios has filed an EU trademark for “Kingdom Come Salvation”, strongly suggesting that this will be the title of its next game in the Kingdom Come series. The filing matters because it is the clearest public indication yet of the project’s identity, although it does not confirm its genre, scale or release date.
The application was filed with the EU Intellectual Property Office on 23 July and is linked to Warhorse through its logo styling and matching legal details. Warhorse had said in May that another “Kingdom Come Adventure” was in development alongside its forthcoming Middle-earth RPG; the wording has prompted speculation that Salvation may differ from the open-world RPG format of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The trademark also mentions services matching users with computer games, which may point to multiplayer or online features, while Henry of Skalitz is unlikely to return after the studio said his story had concluded.
In short
- Warhorse has trademarked “Kingdom Come Salvation”.
- The new game’s format remains unconfirmed.
- The filing may hint at online features.
