Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has recently found itself at the center of controversy, drawing the attention of activists like Grummz, who some describe as "agenda-driven." The spotlight intensified following reports of the game being banned in Saudi Arabia, fueling rumors about the inclusion of specific content and "progressive" ideas within the game. These rumors have sparked a significant backlash, with social media campaigns targeting the developers and calls to cancel the project, aiming to dissuade potential supporters from backing what critics label as "such" developers.
In response to the swirling rumors, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR manager at Warhorse Studios, has urged fans and the public to trust the developers rather than unverified online gossip. Stolz-Zwilling emphasized the importance of waiting for official information and not jumping to conclusions based on internet hearsay.
Amidst this controversy, Stolz-Zwilling also shared updates on the game's progress. He announced that review codes for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would be distributed "in the coming days" after the game reached its gold status in early December. These codes are scheduled to be sent out four weeks before the game's release, allowing streamers and reviewers ample time to prepare their initial impressions and reviews.
Interestingly, Stolz-Zwilling noted 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 designed to give the gaming community early insights into what Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has to offer, despite the ongoing debates and attempts to cancel the project.
