A former Warhorse Studios developer indicated that the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 studio will be using AI for all localization going forward. This comes as more developers face backlash over the implementation of generative AI in their games.
On Saturday, Czech-to-English translator and editor Max Hejtmánek posted on Reddit claiming that he was fired by developer Warhorse Studios and replaced with AI. It came as a shock to the developer, who said he worked on dialogue, quest logs, item names, and marketing material for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its DLCs.
“Yesterday, March 27th 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to ‘make the company more effective’ and ‘save finances’, as of next month, my position at the company would become ‘obsolete’ in favour of using AI for all translations going forward,” Hejtmánek explained. “This came as a huge shock to me, as though the discussion about using AI for translating had frequently come up in the past, something I was always strongly and vocally against, but never to the extent that it might actually cost me my job in the future.”
