Warhorse Moves Daniel Vávra From Games to Lead Live-Action 'Kingdom Come' Project

The studio says a draft script exists and talks with production partners are underway to keep the adaptation aligned with its creative vision.

Overview

  • Warhorse confirms co-founder Daniel Vávra has stepped away from daily creative director duties to focus on developing a live-action adaptation of the franchise, with him involved in the script draft.
  • CEO Martin Frývaldský stresses this is not a split from the company and describes Vávra’s position as a transmedia role rather than a departure.
  • Negotiations with prospective producers are in progress, and Warhorse intends to remain actively involved rather than simply selling adaptation rights.
  • Prokop Jirsa and Viktor Bocan have been named creative directors to lead future game development as part of a broader internal reorganization.
  • The push to expand beyond games follows strong momentum, including Embracer’s report that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold five million copies in its first year.
