Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has recently become a focal point for activists, including figures like Grummz, who have criticized the game following the discovery of a series of subpoenas within its content. This led to a concerted effort to cancel the project, with activists spreading rumors about specific content and so-called "progressive" ideas allegedly integrated into the game. The controversy intensified after news surfaced that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was banned in Saudi Arabia, further fueling the debate around the game's themes and narrative choices.
In response to the backlash, the developers at Warhorse Studios faced significant criticism on social media platforms. The attempts to cancel Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 aimed to dissuade the public from supporting the developers, whom activists labeled as promoting certain agendas.
Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR manager at Warhorse Studios, addressed the swirling rumors directly. He encouraged fans and the public to trust the developers rather than believing everything they read online. Stolz-Zwilling's statement sought to reassure the community and clarify the situation amidst the growing controversy.
Adding to the anticipation, Stolz-Zwilling announced that review codes for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would be distributed in the coming days, following the game's achievement of gold status in early December. These codes are slated to be sent out four weeks prior to the game's release, enabling streamers and reviewers to prepare their initial impressions and reviews.
Interestingly, just a week after the distribution of review codes, the first "final previews" based on portions of the game from the review version are expected to be available. This timeline provides a structured approach to building excitement and offering insights into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 ahead of its launch.
