Middle Age RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was the focus of discussions when approaching out. The Warhorse Studios team expressed discomfort that the game has become part of the culture battles. Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the global public relations manager of the studio, expressed that the developer team did not carry in a certain agent, they only tried to make a fun game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance was born in the Middle of 2 Cultural Wars
The first game of
Serin Kingdom Come: Deliverance was criticized with historical accuracy and lack of diversity before the launch in 2017. Some segments argue that the game does not include minority characters, while others supported it on behalf of “tarihi realisticity”. However, these discussions were caused to remain in the shade of the main goal of the game.
Now Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is criticizing by the same segments because it offers a variety of characters and a gay romance option. Stolz-Zwilling summarized this situation “We are always branded, but we just want to do a good game.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 passes through the important cities of Bohemia in Kuttenberg. This makes it natural that the game contains more diverse characters. Ondrej Bittner from the head designers of the studio, “Kuttenberg was an important city of the Holy Roman Empire. Therefore, it was inevitable to come across people from different ethnic groups and beliefs. Italians, Germans and Jewish characters are included in the game. Also, an in-depth overview of how these characters see the world.
Home Studio’s research aims to provide more historical accuracy and detail by developing the foundation of the first game. For example, in the first game, only the Egyptians, which are seen as enemies, are often processed more deep with their motivation and stories.
Stolz-Zwilling said that the studio has been associated with these discussions, “We wouldn’t want to be included in any of these discussions in a world”. Warhorse Studios stressed that the game focuses on offering a pleasant experience to an independent history storytelling and players. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s innovative storytelling is thought to pay attention with different character perspectives. But developers want to be seen as a construction that players will enjoy rather than the political discussions of the game.
