Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the historical RPG "Kingdom Come: Deliverance," has confirmed it was affected by a significant cybersecurity incident. The studio announced it is working with cybersecurity experts and relevant authorities to investigate the breach and assess its full impact.
In a statement, Warhorse Studios CEO Martin Frývaldský described the situation as serious and emphasized that the immediate priority is to secure systems, determine the extent of the breach, and protect employees, partners, and the community. The studio has stated it will not conduct interviews or offer additional comments beyond verified information shared as it becomes available.
This incident adds Warhorse Studios to a growing list of game development companies that have fallen victim to cyberattacks in recent years. Notably, Rockstar Games, the developer of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, has faced multiple high-profile breaches, including the leak of "Grand Theft Auto 6" gameplay footage.
Warhorse Studios is known for "Kingdom Come: Deliverance," released in 2018, and its 2025 sequel, which received widespread critical acclaim and sold over 4 million copies. The studio also announced plans for a new "Kingdom Come" title and a game set in "The Lord of the Rings" universe. Creative director and co-founder Dan Vávra recently stepped down from his role to focus on transmedia projects, including a live-action adaptation of "Kingdom Come: Deliverance."
