Daniel V\u00e1vra, director of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchise, is leaving game development to focus on making a Kingdom Come: Deliverance movie.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Czech site CzechCrunch<\/u> (via VGC<\/u>), studio head Martin Fr\u00fdvaldsk\u00fd revealed that V\u00e1vra was stepping away from developing Warhorse Studios’ next game to focus on Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s big-screen adaptation.<\/p>\n

“Dan has a new role. That\u2019s the creation of the Kingdom Come movie,” Fr\u00fdvaldsk\u00fd said (via machine translation). “We have been moving the Kingdom Come brand away from video games for some time now. So far we have been in comics, concerts, and tourism, but the film has attracted us the most. That is why Dan and I are working on getting it onto the screen or the big screen. There is also a draft script.”<\/p>\n

“I’m sure people will wonder if this is some kind of breakup with Warhorse,” he added, “No, on the contrary, Dan himself wanted to move on. He made three games that were a global success, he has been wanting to try something different for a long time. Getting Kingdom Come to the screen […] in the next few years is another milestone that we want to achieve, and that is Dan’s new role. You won’t see him in the office every day anymore, but in a broader sense he is still part of Warhorse.”<\/p>\n

Asked for the latest on those plans to adapt Kingdom Come: Deliverance for the big screen, Fr\u00fdvaldsk\u00fd said: “For a long time, people were around us who would like to make a film of KCD, but then Covid came and everything fell asleep. Now, after the release of the second game, we have returned to the idea with much greater drive.<\/p>\n

“We feel the interest from the film world, negotiations are already underway. We don’t just want to sell the rights, we want the film to be what we imagine it to be.”<\/p>\n

Fr\u00fdvaldsk\u00fd suggested that V\u00e1vra’s new job title could be something like transmedia director as the team pushes to expand the franchise beyond games. <\/p>\n
