Rumor alert: Warhorse Studios has not confirmed this is the official title of its next game. This is based on a trademark filing and industry speculation - not an announcement. Treat it accordingly.
Warhorse Studios may have just tipped its hand on what comes after Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. According to filings spotted by multiple outlets, the studio registered a trademark for 'Kingdom Come Salvation' with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on July 23, 2026, under trademark number 019399156. Notably, it's the first time a mainline Kingdom Come title has dropped the word 'Deliverance' from its name.
What the Filing Actually Says
Trademark filings are legal paperwork, not marketing materials, so there's a limit to how much can be read into one - but the details here have fueled real speculation. The registration covers entertainment services including matching users with computer games, online interactive entertainment, and providing online interactive computer games - language broad enough that several outlets have floated the possibility of a multiplayer component, though that remains firmly unconfirmed.
We Already Knew Something Was Coming
This isn't coming completely out of nowhere. Warhorse Studios has previously and openly acknowledged that "a new Kingdom Come adventure" is already in development, alongside a separate, previously announced open-world RPG set in Middle-earth. What wasn't clear until this filing is what that next Kingdom Come project might actually be called - and 'Salvation' is the first real hint at a name, assuming the trademark and the unannounced game are in fact the same project.
Why It Matters
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was a critical and commercial high point for Warhorse, and anticipation for whatever comes next has been building since before that game even launched. A trademark alone doesn't guarantee an imminent reveal, but the timing - filed the same week as San Diego Comic-Con and amid a busy summer news cycle - has plenty of fans expecting an official announcement isn't far behind. Until Warhorse says the word itself, though, 'Kingdom Come Salvation' remains exactly what it is right now: a very promising rumor.
