**Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Developer Shifts to AI for Translations**<\/p>\n

The gaming community has recently been stirred by news regarding Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the popular title Kingdom Come: Deliverance. A significant shift in their approach to translation has raised eyebrows, particularly following the layoff of Max Hejtm\u00e1nek, a translator and editor at the studio. On March 27th, Hejtm\u00e1nek took to Reddit to share his experience of being informed that his role would be replaced by AI technologies. <\/p>\n

Hejtm\u00e1nek explained that he was called into a meeting only to be told that, in a bid to \u201cmake the company more effective\u201d and \u201csave finances,\u201d his position would become \u201cobsolete\u201d starting next month. This revelation comes after a history of discussions around the application of AI in translation tasks at Warhorse, a topic he had always opposed. Despite previous speculation, Hejtm\u00e1nek noted that he had not been concerned about his job security until the meeting.<\/p>\n

In a heartfelt message, he expressed feelings of betrayal, lamenting the loss of daily interactions with his colleagues and the overarching implications of AI proliferation in the gaming sector. He urged the gaming community to recognize how such changes reflect the value that companies place on their employees and the potential environmental impact of this transition.<\/p>\n

While Warhorse has not formally addressed the integration of AI into their workflow, co-founder Daniel V\u00e1vra has made several public statements advocating for the technology. V\u00e1vra envisions a future where games could be translated and dubbed into all languages upon release, suggesting that the shift to AI might not be unexpected.<\/p>\n

As of now, the specifics of Warhorse’s upcoming projects remain undisclosed. However, the transition to AI-driven translations indicates a significant turning point for the studio, which could shape their future titles and the overall gaming experience. The community may soon see formal announcements regarding AI applications in their next endeavors, making it a focal point for fans and industry observers alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nIt sounds like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2<\/a> developer Warhorse Studios’ future projects won’t be translated entirely by human hands. Earlier today, a Reddit post was shared to the game’s subreddit from Max Hejtm\u00e1nek, a Czech to English translator and editor on the developer’s most recent game, where he claimed that yesterday, March 27th, he was laid off “in favour of using AI for all translations going forward.”\n<\/p>\n
