"This is a serious incident": Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 devs Warhorse hit by cyberattack targeting their systems and data
Warhorse Studios, developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and a Lord of the Rings RPG, disclosed a cyberattack compromising systems and data, with investigations ongoing and authorities involved.
Warhorse Studios has confirmed it was targeted by a cyberattack that gained unauthorized access to company systems and data. The studio is collaborating with cybersecurity experts to secure its infrastructure and determine the full scope of the breach. Authorities have been notified as part of the ongoing investigation. The company has not provided additional details while the probe continues.
CEO Martin Frývaldský described the incident as a serious one for Warhorse and those affected, emphasizing the priority of securing systems and protecting employees, partners, and the community. The studio is allocating resources to address the situation and plans to share further updates once verified information is available.
Warhorse has not indicated when it will issue further statements, suggesting the next update will follow the conclusion of the investigation or the identification of concrete findings beyond the initial disclosures. The studio’s approach contrasts with some past breaches where companies disclosed incidents later.
The gaming industry has seen multiple studios face cyberattacks in recent years, with incidents at CD Projekt Red, Insomniac, and Rockstar leading to significant disruptions. Such attacks can result in leaked content and operational challenges for developers, though the specific impact on Warhorse remains unclear at this stage.
