Explore the MarketThree detailed breakdowns of the studios and trends shaping Czech game development.
Studio Profile
Founded in 2011 by Daniel Vávra and Martin Klíma, Warhorse took a decade-long bet on historical accuracy in open-world RPG design. Kingdom Come: Deliverance proved the bet was worth it.
Studio Profile
Since 1999, Bohemia Interactive has dominated a very specific corner of gaming: military realism. The Arma series and DayZ have each left lasting marks on their respective genres.
Market Analysis
Beyond two flagship studios, the Czech gaming landscape includes SCS Software, Amanita Design, and over 100 smaller developers contributing to a sector valued above 350 million euros annually.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance launched in February 2018 after years of careful research into 15th-century Bohemian culture, architecture, and combat. The game consulted archaeologists, historians, and fight choreographers to produce a medieval world with no dragons, no magic — just documented history.
Its sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, followed in February 2025 and expanded on the same principles. The studio now operates as part of the Embracer Group's Deep Silver label.
