Warhorse Studios has reportedly suspended all internal operations and disconnected its computer networks following a serious cyberattack on its infrastructure. Insider bertik11 claims the developer shut down all internal workstations and services to prevent attackers from infiltrating deeper into the studio's pipeline.
The hackers are reportedly attempting to extort the Czech studio for ransom, threatening to leak compromised internal data if their demands are ignored. This total security lockdown has brought active work on the studio's ongoing projects, including Kingdom Come and an unannounced Lord of the Rings title, to an immediate halt.
Ransomware cartels continue targeting prominent game developers with extortion schemes, leaving studios forced to rebuild workflows from offline backups while assessing damage to their upcoming release schedules.
