Darksiders 4 and the next Kingdom Come game could arrive by March 2028

Embracer has placed both games in its 2027/28 fiscal-year release window, giving fans a very wide wait ahead.

Fans waiting for Darksiders 4 and the next Kingdom Come game have finally been given something resembling a release window. Unfortunately, it is a rather large one. As part of its Q1 FY 2026/27 report, Embracer has placed both games in its 2027/28 fiscal-year pipeline, meaning they are currently expected to launch sometime between April 2027 and March 2028.

Darksiders 4 is still a ways away

Darksiders 4 was announced in 2025, but Embracer has remained fairly quiet about the project since then. The company’s latest plans confirm that it is part of the major releases expected during FY 2027/28, alongside titles including Tomb Raider: Catalyst, which should follow up on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis set to launch in 2027.

That doesn’t mean Darksiders 4 has a March 2028 release date. Fiscal 2027/28 simply runs from April 2027 through March 2028, so the actual launch could happen at any point within that period. Embracer’s previous release documents also list Darksiders 4 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The other interesting part is the next Kingdom Come game. Embracer’s annual report says Warhorse Studios is working on a new release in the franchise, while the company’s current pipeline places it in the same FY 2027/28 window. Importantly, Embracer has not officially called it Kingdom Come: Deliverance III, so it is better to think of this simply as the next game in the franchise for now. Warhorse is also developing a separate Middle-earth project, meaning the studio has multiple major projects in the works.

That’s a lot of games for 2027-28

The timing makes sense within Embracer’s broader strategy. The company says its Fellowship Entertainment division, which houses major franchises including Kingdom Come, Darksiders, Tomb Raider and Dead Island, is targeting a higher cadence of major releases from FY 2027/28 onward. It expects at least two major games per year with full economics starting in that period.

So, yes, Darksiders 4 and the next Kingdom Come game are coming. Just don’t clear the calendar yet. With the current window stretching all the way from April 2027 to March 2028, fans could still be waiting quite a while before either game actually lands

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.

Microsoft may already be putting pieces of its rumored Game Pass overhaul into place. A recent report claimed that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is planning a major rethink of the subscription service that could let players pay separately for features such as cloud gaming, multiplayer, and console-only games. Xbox has now started testing a pay-as-you-go version of Cloud Gaming that does not require a Game Pass subscription.
