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 release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game initially sold 1 million copies in a single day, nearly doubling that figure in a remarkably short timeframe.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for developer Warhorse Studios. The sequel's performance on Steam is particularly noteworthy, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a substantial increase compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is likely higher due to console sales, precise figures remain unavailable from Sony and Microsoft.
AnswerSee ResultsEmbracer, Warhorse Studios' parent company through its subsidiary Plaion, highlights the game's success in player reception, critical acclaim, and sales performance. CEO Lars Wingefors attributes this to the dedication of Warhorse Studios and publisher Deep Silver, projecting continued strong revenue generation over the next few years. A planned roadmap of updates and new content over the next 12 months aims to maintain player engagement.
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 10 triple-A titles slated for release over the next three fiscal years (FY 2025/26, FY 2026/27, and FY 2027/28). Eight of these originate from internal studios, with two from external partners. Two triple-A releases are scheduled for the end of FY 2025/26, alongside numerous mid-sized titles such as Gothic 1 Remake, REANIMAL, and others.
Despite recent challenges including staff reductions and studio divestments (including Gearbox and Saber Interactive), Embracer retains key studios like 4A Games, currently developing a new entry in the Metro series.
