Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has recently found itself at the center of controversy, drawing the attention of activists, including notable figures like Grummz. The spotlight intensified after reports surfaced about the game being banned in Saudi Arabia, sparking widespread rumors about the inclusion of specific content and "progressive" ideas within the game. These rumors have fueled a wave of criticism and attempts to cancel the project, with activists targeting the developers on social media and urging the public to withdraw support from what they label as "such" developers.
In response to the swirling rumors, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR manager of Warhorse Studios, has stepped forward to address the situation. Stolz-Zwilling emphasized the importance of trusting the developers over unverified internet gossip, urging fans and critics alike to reserve judgment until more official information is available.
Stolz-Zwilling also provided an update on the game's progress, announcing that review codes for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will 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, allowing streamers and reviewers ample time to form their initial impressions and prepare their reviews.
Interestingly, Stolz-Zwilling mentioned that the first "final previews" based on segments of the game from the review version are expected to be available just a week after the distribution of the review codes. This move is anticipated to give the public a clearer picture of what to expect from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, potentially quelling some of the controversy surrounding the game.
