Medieval open-world RPG studio with 13M+ copies sold globally
Warhorse Studios develops large-scale single-player RPGs anchored in historical settings, most notably the Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchise. The tech stack is classic AAA game dev—C++, Unreal Engine, Perforce for asset management—paired with supporting tools (Visual Studio, PostgreSQL, Python) for build and backend infrastructure. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering roles, with active work on AAA openworld projects and a parallel effort to digitalize internal accounting and tax processes, suggesting infrastructure maturation beyond pure game development.
