Embracer Group celebrates the phenomenal success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark just ten days after its February 4th launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game initially sold 1 million copies on its first day, nearly doubling that figure in a remarkably short timeframe.
This achievement represents a significant triumph for developer Warhorse Studios. The title saw exceptional performance on Steam, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players – a stark contrast to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 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.
AnswerSee ResultsEmbracer, parent company of Warhorse Studios via its subsidiary Plaion, highlighted the game's strong reception from both players and critics, praising Warhorse Studios and publisher Deep Silver. CEO Lars Wingefors expressed confidence in the game's continued success, citing its high quality and immersive gameplay. He also noted a robust roadmap of updates and new content planned for the next year.
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 its pipeline, including ten triple-A titles slated for release over the next three fiscal years. Eight of these are from internal studios, with two from external partners.
Their upcoming releases include two triple-A titles in FY 2025/26, along with several mid-size projects such as 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 titles.
Embracer's recent history has included significant restructuring, involving staff reductions and studio divestments (including Gearbox and Saber Interactive). However, they retain ownership of 4A Games, currently developing a new entry in the Metro series.
