Daniel Vavra, an industry veteran known for the Mafia and Kingdom Come franchises, has announced he is changing roles at his company, Warhorse Studios, and will now focus on helping to make a Kingdom Come film.
Following Czech media reports, Vavra himself confirmed that the news is true. He jokingly added that the “gaming world is finally saved from my controversies.” That is likely a reference to Vavra’s comments in the past about GamerGate and “historical accuracy” in video games with respect to depictions of diversity. More recently, Vavra spoke enthusiastically about generative AI, which led to further controversy.
Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský told CzechCrunch that Vavra “made three games that were a global success; he has been wanting to try something different for a long time.”
