Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/em> developer Warhorse Studios appears to be the latest game studio hit by<\/span> a cyberattack. The studio confirmed in a statement that it was affected by a cybersecurity incident and is currently assessing the extent of the damage. Czech-based Warhorse is apparently working with cybersecurity experts and \u201crelevant authorities\u201d as it opens an investigation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis is a serious incident for Warhorse Studios and everyone affected,\u201d said Martin Fr\u00fdvaldsk\u00fd, CEO of Warhorse Studios. \u201cOur immediate priority is to secure our systems, establish the full extent of the breach, and take the necessary steps to protect our employees, partners, and community. We are dedicating the resources needed to address this situation and will communicate further information as soon as we responsibly can.\u201d<\/p>\n Warhorse said it won\u2019t be conducting interviews or providing additional comments about the situation, and that it will share further verified information when it becomes available.<\/p>\n Video game studios have faced a wave of cyberattacks in recent years, with Grand Theft Auto 6 <\/em>developer Rockstar Games arguably taking the brunt of it<\/span>. In September, Rockstar was hacked by the group ShinyHunters. Before that, Cyberleeks hit the company and released stolen GTA 6<\/em> gameplay footage and, years prior, Rockstar suffered a major breach which revealed an early development build.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Warhorse Studios has developed two games, Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/em> and its 2025 sequel. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2<\/em> was released on Feb. 4, 2025, to widespread critical acclaim and sold over 4 million copies by the end of that year. Warhorse Studios has announced it will work on a new Kingdom Come title and also revealed it\u2019s making a game set in The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u2019 Middle-earth.<\/p>\n The studio has faced controversy over comments from its creative director and co-founder, Dan V\u00e1vra. V\u00e1vra previously described himself as a \u201cpro-Gamergate\u201d developer and once compared the YouTube channel Feminist Frequency to book-burning Nazis for trying to \u201ccensor\u201d video game content.<\/span><\/p>\n In an ironic twist, V\u00e1vra and Warhorse were targeted by right-wing culture warriors after revealing Deliverance 2<\/em> would feature an African character and same-sex romance. V\u00e1vra defended what was in the game, saying, \u201cEverything displayed corresponds to the morals and social norms of 1403 Bohemia and is only there to make an interesting story, and not at all to appeal to a \u2018modern audience.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n In early 2026, V\u00e1vra announced he was stepping down as the studio\u2019s creative director and moving into a role focused on transmedia projects, like the upcoming live-action Kingdom Come: Deliverance <\/em>adaptation.<\/p>\n Beyond the controversies around V\u00e1vra, a translator and editor at Warhorse Studios recently accused the company of replacing his job with AI. He said he handled Czech-to-English translations for the company’s games.<\/p>\n\n What games has Warhorse developed?
