Embracer Group has quietly dropped one of the more interesting pieces of news for fans of Darksiders™ this week. Buried inside the company's Q1 FY2026/27 interim report is a publishing schedule that puts Darksiders 4 in the FY 2027/2028 window, targeting PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The next Kingdom Come game lands in the same window, though without confirmed platforms just yet.
What Embracer's report actually says
Page 11 of the interim report lays out the development and publishing pipeline for Embracer's announced titles. Darksiders 4 is listed with PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 as confirmed platforms, with FY 2027/2028 as the target release window. The next Kingdom Come game sits in the same window but without platform details attached yet.
These are expected windows, not hard release dates. FY 2027/2028 for Embracer runs from April 2027 through March 2028, so there's still a wide target zone here.
The broader Embracer release pipeline
The report fills in a lot of gaps beyond just those two titles. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 is the nearest release, slated for December 2026. Stage Tour follows in Holiday 2026. Then February 2027 gets busy fast, with both Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Metro 2039 landing that month.
Tomb Raider: Catalyst is further out at CY 2028. Two more titles round out the list without release dates: Deus Ex Remastered and Thief: The Dark Project Remastered, both of which are in development but not yet scheduled.
Here's the full picture from the report:
| Title | Release Window | Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 | December 2026 | TBC |
| Stage Tour | Holiday 2026 | TBC |
| Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis | February 2027 | TBC |
| Metro 2039 | February 2027 | TBC |
| Darksiders 4 | FY 2027/2028 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S |
| New Kingdom Come | FY 2027/2028 | TBC |
| Tomb Raider: Catalyst | CY 2028 | TBC |
| Deus Ex Remastered | TBD | TBC |
| Thief: The Dark Project Remastered | TBD | TBC |
Where Darksiders 4 fits in the franchise
The Darksiders series has been in a holding pattern for a while. Darksiders 3 released back in 2018, and while spinoff Darksiders Genesis came in 2019, there's been no mainline entry since. A FY 2027/2028 window means fans are looking at roughly a decade between numbered entries in the series, which is a long gap for an action games franchise that built real momentum with its first two installments.
The Kingdom Come side of this announcement has its own context. Warhorse Studios confirmed the next game was in development alongside the LOTR open-world RPG reveal, and a trademark filing hinted at a possible subtitle. Getting a release window, even a broad one, confirms the project is far enough along to appear on Embracer's official publishing schedule.
What comes next for fans
There's been no gameplay reveal, no trailer, and no official title confirmed for Darksiders 4 beyond what's in the report. The FY 2027/2028 window gives a rough target, but with February 2027 already stacked with Metro 2039 and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Embracer clearly has a lot to manage between now and then.
