Martin Klima, co-founder of Warhorse Studios, told PC Gamer he is tired of RPGs where the player is a chosen one carrying a mission to save the world, calling the formula too one-note and saying the genre is still games for teenagers. He said that feeling led to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, whose sequel released in 2025.
Martin Klima, co-founder of Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio Warhorse Studios, told PC Gamer he wants Grand Theft Auto VI to lead the way toward higher game prices. Klima said the technology and scale demanded of games keep expanding and development costs keep rising, while market growth has already hit its limit. The spread of digital sales has also cut the room to reduce distribution costs, leaving a higher sale price per game as the only remaining means to sustain the business. He said companies fear raising prices alone because it invites backlash, and that only major players like Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two can take the plunge. Klima said he is not a fan of the GTA series and does not plan to play the game, but he regards Rockstar's work as a technical marvel. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
