A former Warhorse Studios employee recently took to Reddit to reveal that they were laid off from the studio, with their role being replaced by AI. Max H, using the username ThousandDemons, shared on the Kingdom Come subreddit that his position as a Czech-to-English translator and editor for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 had become “obsolete” due to AI.
“Yesterday, March 27th, 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to ‘make the company more effective’ and ‘save finances,’ as of next month, my position at the company would become ‘obsolete’ in favor of using AI for all translations going forward,” wrote Max. “This came as a huge shock to me, as though the discussion about using AI for translating had frequently come up in the past, something I was always strongly and vocally against, but never to the extent that it might actually cost me my job in the future. It had, of course, crossed my mind many times, but I naively thought my work at WHS was valued enough that I might not be at immediate risk.” Max explained that he wanted to share his experience to raise awareness about the growing use of AI in the industry and to wish his former colleagues well.
