Background
Warhorse Studios is a Czech-based developer known for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series. The studio released Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on February 4, 2025, which sold over 4 million copies by the end of that year. The company is currently developing two unreleased titles: a new Kingdom Come adventure and an open-world RPG set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
The studio has faced previous controversies, including comments from creative director Dan Vávra regarding Gamergate and content representation in the games. In early 2026, Vávra announced he was stepping down as creative director to focus on transmedia projects. The current cyberattack follows a wave of security incidents in the gaming industry, notably affecting Rockstar Games prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

CEO Details Investigation Priorities
Studio CEO Martin Frývaldský reportedly stated in a message to Czech media that the incident is serious. He reportedly emphasized that the immediate priority is to secure systems, determine the full extent of the breach, and protect employees, partners, and the community. The studio reportedly stated it will not conduct interviews or provide additional comments until it can share verified information responsibly.[1]
Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The studio's confirmation of the cyberattack comes only through a single media report rather than a direct primary source. Both the initial announcement and the CEO's stated investigation priorities rest solely on that outlet's coverage. Further verified details from the studio itself are still pending.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
Warhorse Studios plans to share further verified information about the cyberattack when it can do so responsibly.
