Warhorse Studios, the developer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, confirmed on October 27 that it had suffered a cyberattack. The studio said an attacker accessed its systems and company data. It described the incident as serious and said it was working with cybersecurity experts.

What the studio said

The studio made the incident public in a statement shared through its channels. Available information does not specify the initial access point, how long access lasted or which systems were involved. Warhorse has not named a suspected attacker.

The phrase “access to company data” does not establish whether files were copied out of the systems. As of publication, exfiltration has not been publicly confirmed. The studio has also not detailed any effects on players, accounts or game services.

What players should know

Incident updates can change as an investigation progresses. Players should rely on Warhorse's official channels and avoid links sent in unsolicited messages. A supposed security notice that asks for a password or sign-in code should be independently verified.

Without evidence that player accounts were exposed, there is no basis to conclude that they were affected. Caution about phishing messages is still useful after widely covered security news.

Incident response

The studio says it is working with cybersecurity specialists. An investigation should establish which systems were involved, what data was accessed and what containment measures were taken. Warhorse has not published a timeline for a fuller report.
