Development of the new Kingdom Come halted after hacker attack and Warhorse is being blackmailed — insider
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
It looks like the developers are facing major problems.
Warhorse Studio recently acknowledged that it had suffered a hacker attack. Now the developers have clarified some details — they experienced issues accessing the studio’s services and systems:
Dear players and friends. Following a recent cybersecurity incident, we have determined that our system was subject to unauthorized access, which affected access to certain internal systems and services. The investigation is ongoing, and everyone directly affected will be notified. We continue to cooperate with cybersecurity specialists and the relevant authorities. We will keep you updated here. Thank you for staying with us.
A user going by the nickname bertik11 revealed the scale of the issues faced by the studio. Earlier, he had already shared confirmed information regarding the plans of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance creators.
According to bertik11’s sources, Warhorse Studio employees cannot work at all right now because “all computers and internal systems are shut down as a precautionary measure,” and they have allegedly been forbidden from turning on their PCs.
In addition, there are reports that Warhorse Studio is being blackmailed, although bertik11 does not know the exact amount. By all accounts, the studio’s operations have been paralyzed:
Even more concerning is that development has reportedly ground to a complete halt, which could potentially affect both Kingdom Come and the ‘Lord of the Rings’ project. From the information I am receiving, this is not just a minor security incident. It appears to be a massive cyberattack that has effectively paralyzed the studio’s operations.
