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.
