Kingdom Come: Deliverance Officially Returns September 2026

Kingdom Come: Deliverance may have started as a modest Kickstarter backed by those desperate for a more realistic historical open-world RPG, but it has blossomed into quite the gaming phenomenon. Much like its protagonists’ rags-to-riches (or knight, I suppose) storyline, Warhorse Studios has become a staple of the gaming industry thanks to its dedication to crafting incredible worlds, meaningful stories, and pushing the envelope when it comes to role-playing in a video game.

Naturally, this level of fame comes with a newfound interest in any upcoming Kingdom Come: Deliverance projects. As such, it is only right to report whenever Warhorse Studios announces or, indeed, releases something related to the legendary RPG. Fortunately, a brand-new KCD project is in the works and is scheduled to be released in September 2026. Fans will want to pay attention to this one, as it is truly made for them.

In collaboration with Dark Horse, the same folks responsible for creating a significant amount of gaming-related merchandise, Warhorse Studios is officially releasing a Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 art book. This has been long overdue, not least because the game’s concept art is a thing of beauty, and will likely come as phenomenal news to fans, especially those eager to get their hands on anything Warhorse Studios related now that its open-world LOTR game’s release date is so far away.

The art book, which is a whopping 384 pages long, covers everything from showcasing concept art to discussing how the studio managed to be as historically accurate as possible and revealing behind-the-scenes information on the game’s development. This isn’t atypical for an art book, but prospective buyers can expect a considerable amount of detail, considering the sheer number of pages, and Dark Horse’s reputation as a purveyor of high-quality gaming merchandise. It comes in hardback form, with the cover featuring gorgeous new art of the game’s cast surrounding Henry.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 art book (which may just pale in comparison to the recent KCD2 LEGO collaboration) will ship in September 2026. However, it is worth considering that this shipping date is a tentative one, with the official Dark Horse Direct website clarifying that its shipping dates are approximate and subject to change. Nevertheless, you can pre-order it right now from the aforementioned website for $69.99, although that doesn’t include shipping to your region.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a very special game that means a lot to so many people; so, an art book with over 100 sketches and pieces of concept art in addition to all the aforementioned behind-the-scenes information feels like an apt way to celebrate it. Considering just how meticulous and in-depth the developers were in the recreation of historic Kuttenberg, this art book is sure to give fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a genuinely robust insight into it all.
