Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has recently found itself at the center of controversy, drawing the attention of activists such as Grummz. The spotlight intensified when news broke that the game had been banned in Saudi Arabia, fueling rumors about specific content and "progressive" ideas allegedly incorporated into the game. These rumors quickly spread across social media, prompting a wave of criticism against the developers, Warhorse Studios. The controversy has led to calls to cancel Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and dissuade support for the developers, whom some label as promoting certain agendas.
In response to the swirling rumors, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR manager of Warhorse Studios, has publicly addressed the situation. He urged fans and the community to trust the developers and not to believe everything they read online, emphasizing the importance of factual information over speculation.
Stolz-Zwilling also provided an update on the game's progress, announcing that review codes for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 would be distributed "in the coming days" after the game achieved gold status in early December. These codes are set to be released four weeks before the game's official launch, allowing streamers and reviewers ample time to prepare their initial impressions and reviews.
Interestingly, the first "final previews" based on sections of the game from the review version are expected to be available just a week after the review codes are distributed. This strategic move aims to build anticipation and provide a clearer picture of what players can expect from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
