King's Field itself has no new release, but the series remains a touchstone for independent developers. Two King's Field-inspired first-person RPGs, Necrofane and Queen's Domain, are in development, with Queen's Domain launching October 31, 2026.
King's Field appears in these stories only as an influence on other games. No new King's Field title, port, or announcement is described. The series is cited by two independent developers as a reference point for first-person dungeon crawlers.
The first is Necrofane, a dark fantasy RPG from Millennium Bound. It draws on King's Field along with Dark Souls, DOOM, and Hexen, and passed 50,000 Steam wishlists by June 2026. A Kickstarter campaign runs until July 2, with stretch goals for console ports and co-op play, and a Steam release is planned for 2027.
The second is Queen's Domain, from Freshly Baked Games and Future Friends Games. It is a first-person retro fantasy action RPG influenced by FromSoftware's King's Field. It is set on Niasheed Island, where an undead queen was sealed by a knight with a holy sword and is beginning to awaken.
The release date for Queen's Domain changed. A story from October 5, 2026 gave October 30 with pricing undecided. A later story from October 30, 2026 gave October 31 as the launch date, with prices of 2,800 yen on Steam, 2,310 yen on PlayStation 5, and 2,350 yen on Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, plus a limited-time 15 percent launch discount. Platforms are PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with Japanese support included. The game has real-time combat with stamina management, over 50 melee weapons, more than 20 throwing weapons, and more than 100 enemy types.
