Recent developments at Warhorse Studios suggest that future projects, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, may involve a significant shift towards AI-driven translations. A Reddit post shared by Max Hejtmánek, a Czech to English translator and editor for the studio’s latest game, revealed that he was laid off in favor of using AI for all translations moving forward.
Hejtmánek described being informed during a meeting that his position was deemed “obsolete” as part of efforts to increase efficiency and save costs within the company. While discussions about AI had surfaced in the past, Hejtmánek expressed surprise at the sudden decision and his concerns about job security.

Expressing a sense of betrayal towards the company he had been a part of for nearly four years, Hejtmánek highlighted the impact of AI on employees in the gaming industry and beyond. While Warhorse Studios has not officially commented on the use of AI, co-founder Daniel Vávra has previously shown support for the technology, suggesting that games could be translated into multiple languages instantly using AI.
The studio’s current projects remain undisclosed, but the potential integration of AI in future releases is a topic to watch out for. Stay tuned for updates on AI implementation on their Steam page in the future.
