Warhorse Studios, the team behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, recently reported a cyberattack that allowed unauthorized access to both their systems and data. The studio’s CEO confirmed this incident, according to GamesRadar, describing it as “a serious incident for Warhorse Studios and for everyone affected.”
The studio made it clear that this cyberattack involved unauthorized access to company systems along with company data. This sets it apart from a simple outage or denial-of-service attack. Someone got in and accessed stored information.
PC Gamer’s report highlights Warhorse as both the Kingdom Come developer and a contributor to a Lord of the Rings project. This breach could impact more than just one franchise, making it significant across multiple projects.
Several important details remain unclear in the current reports: what specific data was accessed, if personal information is involved, who executed the attack, and if any unreleased game content was compromised. We won’t speculate on these points. Until Warhorse shares more information, be cautious with claims from third parties.
