What's Happening?
Daniel Vávra, the creative director of the 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' series, is stepping away from leading the development of Warhorse Studios' next game to focus on a film adaptation of the series. Vávra, known for his controversial views and involvement
in the GamerGate controversy, has been a significant figure in the gaming industry. His departure from game development to pursue a film project marks a new chapter for both him and Warhorse Studios. The studio has announced that Prokop Jirsa and Viktor Bocan will take over as creative directors for future game projects.
Why It's Important?
Vávra's shift from game development to film highlights the growing trend of transmedia storytelling, where successful video game franchises expand into other media forms such as films and series. This move can potentially broaden the audience for 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' and introduce the story to new fans. For Warhorse Studios, this transition may bring fresh perspectives and creative directions under the new leadership of Jirsa and Bocan. The change also reflects the evolving nature of the gaming industry, where creators seek to explore different mediums to tell their stories.
