Warhorse Studios’ medieval Czech game Kingdom Come: Deliverance may continue to generate revenue years after its release, which will support the company in the meantime to finish the next title. Warhorse sales in the financial year ending March of this year reached NOK 173 million with a pre-tax profit of 124 million.
Warhorse sales are gradually declining. It’s a traditional game development cycle where the biggest sales are made in the post-release period and then the numbers drop until the next title is released. Sales can be supported in various ways, such as by releasing DLC expansions, using discount events and the like.
Warhorse made $ 250 million in 2020, $ 463 million the year before and nearly $ 1.1 billion the year before.
Warhorse Studios falls under the foreign owner Plaion (until recently Koch Media), who bought the studio. Koch is part of the Scandinavian giant Embracer Group. He is an active investor in the Czech Republic. Next to Warhorse manages the developers of Brno Ashborne Games and it will be publishes GoldKnights’ The Last Oricru. In Slovakia, Embracer is behind Nine Rocks Games.
