Want to know who is Hacker Empress and what games has she cracked? The hacker community has always been and will always be an integral part of the gaming industry. And while some hackers hack games for themselves, others do it for a higher purpose. However, even among the best of the best gaming hackers, the Empress’ name holds a special place. First introduced in 2014, Empress unleashed a war against Denuvo’s DRM security system. And we, like millions of players, can understand her indignation and claims against this company. However, below we will tell you about Hacker Empress, what purposes she pursues, and what games she cracked.

Who is Hacker Empress

Before talking about Hacker Empress, it’s worth a little understanding of what DRM Denuvo is and why players don’t like this system. As we said earlier, DRM Denuvo is a service for protecting games from unauthorized access and subsequent piracy of the intellectual property of game companies. The fight against piracy is good, but only until it affects the gameplay of honest players.

By loading games with complex security systems, software developers are sacrificing performance, which is unacceptable for players who pay for the game. And then the legendary Hacker Empress appeared. An incredibly clever and beautiful young girl (according to her statements) had a dream in which she saw Dark Souls 2, around which there were many numbers flying, and this helped her to free the game.

Like many gamers, she didn’t like that game companies were sacrificing game performance to protect their revenue. Of course, developers have the right to protect their intellectual property. But players who paid for the game with real money should not feel discomfort during gameplay due to protection systems. But if the developers spoil the gameplay, Empress will give gamers a free version of the game.

No one knows Empress’s real name and if she is a girl. Empress is a stone in the throat of DRM Denuvo, and she will not leave until she destroys her enemy. However, this is why we can be sure that Empress respects games like The Witcher 3. The developers did not defend their product in any way, but players purchase The Witcher 3 constantly. As the developers themselves said, the piracy factor didn’t matter because they can’t force people to buy things. They can only persuade them to do so and they fully believe in the gingerbread, not the whip.

What Games Has Empress Cracked?

As we said earlier, Empress first announced itself in 2014 and continues to prove to DRM Denuvo that they can’t stop her. The latest project that Empress is about to hack is Hogwarts Legacy. The game has survived a lot of scandals due to the statements of JK Rowling, and Denuvo has become another stone thrown toward the players. Empress promises to release a hacked game version in the coming days.

But in almost ten years of hacking, Empress has hacked many games. So below you will see a list of the most popular games cracked by Empress alone or paired with other hackers:
