Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Does the Business for Embracer as It Nears 2 Million Copies Sold

Embracer Group has announced the phenomenal success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, revealing sales nearing the 2 million mark. Just one day after its February 4th launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game sold 1 million copies, nearly doubling that figure within ten days. This represents a remarkable achievement for developer Warhorse Studios, whose medieval RPG sequel has seen extraordinary player engagement. Steam alone witnessed over 250,000 peak concurrent players, a figure significantly exceeding the 96,069 peak for the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is undoubtedly higher due to console releases, precise figures remain unavailable from Sony and Microsoft.

Embracer, parent company of Warhorse Studios via its subsidiary Plaion, highlighted Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's success, praising not only player and critical reception but also its strong performance. Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors stated that the game's exceptional quality, immersive experience, and broad appeal are expected to generate significant revenue in the coming years. Warhorse Studios has a planned roadmap of updates and new content for the next 12 months, ensuring continued engagement with the player community. Wingefors expressed immense pride in the teams involved, noting that the game's success has significantly exceeded initial expectations.

Beyond Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Embracer anticipates the release of Killing Floor 3 later this quarter (January-March 2025). The company boasts over 5,000 game developers working on upcoming titles, including 10 triple-A games slated for release over the next three fiscal years (FY 2025/26, FY 2026/27, and FY 2027/28). Eight of these are from internal studios, with two originating from external partners. FY 2025/26 will see two triple-A releases towards the year's end, alongside several mid-sized titles including Gothic 1 Remake, REANIMAL, Fellowship, Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, Titan Quest II, Screamer, Echoes of the End (working title), Tides of Tomorrow, Satisfactory (console), and the full release of Wreckfest 2, with additional unannounced mid-sized games also in the pipeline.

Embracer's recent history has included challenges, such as staff reductions and the sale of several studios, including Gearbox and Saber Interactive. However, the company retains ownership of 4A Games, currently developing a new entry in the Metro series.
