The scandal surrounding the banned Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in Saudi Arabia turned out to be a fake
A media scandal erupted around Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, when the media spread information about the alleged ban of the game in Saudi Arabia due to LGBTQ content. However, the creators of the game denied this information.
Here's What We Know
David Vavra, co-founder of Warhorse Studios, personally denied the rumours about the game's ban.
He noted that there are no unskippable cutscenes in the game. After all, this is exactly what became the reason for the rumours about the game's ban, because players will see a scene with gays that cannot be skipped. However, as it is already clear, you can skip anything in the game.
The game, which will be released on 4 February 2025 on PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5, promises a more diverse world of medieval Bohemia. Unlike the first part, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will introduce characters of different ethnicities, including a noble native of Mali named Moussa, whose appearance in the game has a historical basis.
Vavra also criticised the so-called "anti-Wok" community, which has started to harass the studio for including diverse characters. "It's sad that they've turned into what they're supposedly fighting against," the developer said, stressing that the main goal of the game is to create an interesting story.
