Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 translator says he was ‘fired from Warhorse Studios and replaced with AI’

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a big hit last year and took home PC Gamer’s GOTY award, but developer Warhorse has had a strange week when it comes to AI. Game director Daniel Vávra took to X to defend DLSS 5 last Monday, and just yesterday, a thread was posted to the Kingdom Come subreddit with user ThousandDemons claiming to be a translator that worked on KCD2—though now they’ve been fired and “replaced with AI.”

We have reached out to Warhorse for comment, and will update this story when we hear back. We do not yet have full confirmation of ThousandDemons’ identity, but the timeline of his story and self-identification as “Max H” suggest he is Max Hejtmánek, one of two devs credited as “English Editor” on KCD2. Hejtmánek’s LinkedIn shows him recently departing Warhorse. We have reached out to Hejtmánek to confirm his identity, but KCD subreddit moderator Tabnam commented on the thread that he’s privately received verification proving ThousandDemons’ identity as Hejtmánek.
