Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 director hopes “AI revolution” will allow him to make games faster

The creative director and co-founder of Warhorse Studios, Daniel Vávra, discusses the successful launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which achieved 2 million units sold within its first two weeks.

• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold 2 million units within its first two weeks, meeting internal projections based on pre-order data.
• Warhorse Studios scaled its team to 250 employees over a six-year development cycle that included navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The studio attributes its commercial success to maintaining creative autonomy under Embracer Group, avoiding the trend-focused 'corporate product' model common in modern AAA development.
