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 remarkable achievement showcases the sequel's popularity, particularly on Steam, where it boasted over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a significant leap compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is undoubtedly higher, encompassing both PC and console players, precise figures remain unavailable due to platform-specific data privacy.

Embracer, parent company of Warhorse Studios via its subsidiary Plaion, highlighted Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's success, emphasizing positive player and critic reception alongside strong sales performance. CEO Lars Wingefors praised Warhorse Studios and publisher Deep Silver, expressing confidence in the game's continued revenue generation over the next few years. He cited the game's exceptional quality and immersive experience as key factors in its success. A robust roadmap, including updates and new content over the next year, 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 ten 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 are from internal studios, and two are 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 projects.

Embracer's recent history includes significant restructuring, involving staff reductions and the sale of several studios. However, the company retains ownership of 4A Games, currently developing a new entry in the Metro series.
