Two studios had the same kind of bad Monday, for different reasons. Warhorse Studios, the Czech developer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance and an announced Lord of the Rings RPG, said on October 27 that it had been hit by a cyberattack. The same day, Capcom confirmed it had switched off Street Fighter V's online features on PlayStation 4 and Steam and begun pulling the game from sale while it deals with the PHP security flaws disclosed a week earlier. Both companies made their announcements on social media, which Xarmo could not check directly, so what follows is drawn from the reporting of PC Gamer, Kotaku and VGC.
Start with Warhorse. According to PC Gamer, the studio posted that it was "working with cybersecurity specialists to secure our systems and understand the full extent of what happened", and thanked followers for standing with it. A fuller statement went to Czech media, in which chief executive Martin Frývaldský called it "a serious incident for Warhorse Studios and for everyone affected" and said the immediate priority was to secure systems, establish the scope of the breach and protect employees, partners and the community. Kotaku's report adds the detail that the attackers gained unauthorised access to internal systems and to company data, and that the studio is coordinating with the authorities as well as outside specialists.
That is the full extent of what is known, and it is worth being plain about the gaps. Neither outlet reports who was behind the attack, what data was taken, or whether anything has surfaced publicly. PC Gamer notes the obvious possibilities, from material on the two unannounced-in-detail games to player information, and just as readily notes that it could be none of those. Warhorse has promised further updates when it can share them responsibly, and no timeline has been given. The upcoming Kingdom Come title has been floated by Embracer's leadership for as early as April 2027; nothing in the studio's statements addresses whether the incident touches that schedule.
Street Fighter V goes quiet
Capcom's problem is more contained, and more immediately felt by players. VGC reports that the publisher has taken Street Fighter V's online services offline on PS4 and Steam and is suspending sales on the PlayStation Store and Steam "in stages" until a fix is complete. Capcom's notice, as quoted by VGC, describes emergency maintenance for "the security enhancements related to the PHP programming language" and says content requiring online functionality is currently unavailable. Anyone who already owns the game can still play its offline modes. Ranked matches, lobbies and the rest of the online hub are the casualties, with no estimate for when they return or when the game goes back on sale.
The PHP connection is the thread tying this week together. The two unauthenticated remote-code-execution bugs in the language, patched on October 21 and already being exploited, have had websites and services going dark while operators patch or pull back-end systems. A decade-old fighting game turns out to have a web-facing back end like anyone else. VGC's report does not say the game's servers were compromised, only that Capcom considers them potentially vulnerable and chose to shut them rather than run the risk, which is the sensible reading of "emergency maintenance". Kotaku places the move alongside Capcom's recent CAPCOM ID breach and a separate Square Enix incident, while noting neither company has said whether AI-assisted vulnerability discovery played any part.
What players can do
Not much, which is the honest answer. Street Fighter V owners keep their offline content and should expect online play to return when Capcom finishes its fixes; there is no indication of refunds or compensation, and none has been requested in the reporting. Kingdom Come players have no action to take unless Warhorse later says customer data was involved, at which point the usual advice about unique passwords applies. For now, the only confirmed next steps are the ones both companies have set for themselves: Warhorse will report back when it knows more, and Capcom will restore Street Fighter V's services and store listings once the maintenance is done, on a date it has not yet named.
