About company
Warhorse Studios

Jsme české herní studio tvořící rozsáhlé herní světy a hry na hrdiny se silným příběhem a důrazem na filmový zážitek. Stojíme za RPG ze sérií Kingdom Come: Deliverance, které se celosvětově prodalo přes 15 milionů kopií na PC a konzolích.

Warhorse Studios vzniklo v roce 2011 kolem nápadu několika lidí, kteří dlouho snili o hře, jakou nikdo nedělal – realistické RPG zasazené do skutečné historie. Bez magie, bez klišé, bez kompromisů.

V roce 2018 vyšlo Kingdom Come: Deliverance, hra jejímuž vzniku napomohla i silná komunita, kterou Warhorse vybudovalo na Kickstarteru. Kritici i hráči ocenili důraz na detail, historickou věrnost i příběh, který nestojí na záchraně světa, ale na osudu jednoho kluka, který se ocitne uprostřed chaosu. Dodnes si hru koupilo více než 10 mil hráčů. Úspěch nám umožnil růst.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (2025) posouvá vše, co jsme se naučili předtím – a zůstává věrné tomu, co WARHORSE vždy reprezentovalo: poctivou práci, respekt k historii a chuť riskovat.
