We may be looking at the first hint of a new entry in the Kingdom Come series. According to VGC, a trademark for Kingdom Come Salvation has appeared on the European Union Intellectual Property Office website — and the filing contains a few details that, if true, could reshape expectations for what Warhorse does next. Take this with a pinch of salt: this is a trademark filing, not an announcement, but it’s notable enough that we wanted to break it down for readers.
What Was Reported
VGC reports that the trademark for Kingdom Come Salvation was filed by Warhorse Studios in Czech. The filing reportedly includes a logo. Under the filing’s “Goods and services” section, two entries stand out: “computer gaming software” and “entertainment services for matching users with computer games”.
Per VGC, the appearance of “computer gaming software” in the listing “seemingly indicates that this is a video game, and not the upcoming Kingdom Come live-action movie.” The other entry — “entertainment services for matching users with computer games” — is highlighted by the filing as potentially significant, because it may imply an online multiplayer component. That would be a notable shift: VGC points out that trademarks for Kingdom Come: Deliverance do not include these services.
The Source & Credibility
VGC is sourcing its information from the European Union Intellectual Property Office website, where the trademark reportedly appears. As always with IP filings, a trademark can be filed for many reasons and does not guarantee a finished product or imminent reveal — consider that when weighing this information.
Additional Context From The Same Report
- Warhorse Studios is also described by VGC as being currently at work on a Lord of the Rings RPG.
- VGC also notes a related commercial tie-in: in May, fragrance company Kintsugi Perfumes released a Kingdom Come–themed perfume.
- VGC cites reviewer Jordan Middler, who reviewed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and called it a “brilliant RPG that’s uncompromisingly itself. Difficult, mucky, and bloody, it’s an excellent realization of the promise of the first game and a coming-out party for Warhorse into gaming’s top tier.”
All of the above is taken directly from VGC’s coverage of the EU trademark filing. We’re reporting the filing itself and the claims made in that coverage; it’s important to remain sceptical until Warhorse or an official registry note provides confirmation or more detail.
What It Could Mean
If the trademark really is for a game, the presence of “computer gaming software” at least suggests the IP owner is protecting a videogame product. The additional entry for “entertainment services for matching users with computer games” is intriguing because it could hint at matchmaking, online features, or other networked functionality — a departure from the single-player focus of the franchise so far.
That said, trademarks are sometimes filed broadly to protect brand extensions or to cover future merchandising and service options. VGC itself flags the possibility that the wording may indicate online components, but that remains speculative until corroborating evidence appears. Take this with a pinch of salt: a filing is a legal step, not a gameplay reveal.
Why This Matters
For fans of Kingdom Come, a trademark for Kingdom Come Salvation is meaningful because it suggests Warhorse is still actively managing and expanding the franchise. If the “matching users” language does indeed point to multiplayer or matchmaking, that could represent a strategic evolution for the studio and the series — and would mark a notable difference from earlier Kingdom Come: Deliverance filings, which did not include these services.
Beyond franchise implications, the filing arrives while Warhorse Studios is reportedly working on a separate Lord of the Rings RPG, which could indicate parallel development streams for the studio. Again, take these threads as tentative: a trademark shows intent to protect a name and certain uses, but it does not equate to a finished game announcement. We’ll keep watching the EUIPO listings and any statements from Warhorse Studios — and we’ll let readers know the moment more concrete information surfaces.
