Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 director Daniel Vávra has taken to social media as a way to handle what he calls “wild claims” surrounding the sport, together with a ban in Saudi Arabia, unskippable cutscenes, and extra.
In a prolonged thread on social media platform X, Vávra factors to claims which were circulating in current days. He says these claims are “primarily based simply on one screenshot and a poorly translated tweet”, doubtless pointing to this submit from Saudi Arabian outlet VGA4A.
When machine translated, the submit appears to say that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been banned in Saudi Arabia on account of “unskippable homosexual scenes in story mode”, and it is doubtless that that is the declare Vávra desires to deal with.
In response to Vávra, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will characteristic “NO unskippable cutscenes”, a declare he extends to the whole thing of his studio Warhorse’s output.
He then says that his studio’s sport isn’t, nor ever was, banned in any nation, “at the very least not that we all know of”. It’s, in fact, potential that the sport was banned in Saudi Arabia with out Vávra’s data, however since he is the top of Warhorse, that appears unlikely.
Vávra then goes on to say that whereas he would not like “pressured variety”, he and his crew weren’t pressured to do something, nor are they “forcing anybody to do sure issues”.
Once more pointing to the rumors of “unskippable homosexual scenes” propagated by the aforementioned submit, Vávra says homosexual characters have been already current in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and that “you’re answerable for your choices”.
He says that if you’d like Henry to have a “same-sex journey”, you possibly can, however “when you do not wish to, you do not have to”.
The remainder of Vávra’s thread incorporates some story particulars for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, in addition to historic context explaining a number of the artistic choices behind the sport.
Vávra says, as an example, that the town during which the sport takes place was “one of many richest” in Europe and was “besieged by a large overseas military”, which is why it is “extra various than the life within the villages which have been featured within the first sport”.
He closes by saying that he would not need his sport to “be used as clickbait by individuals who did not even play it but”, and that some followers have been “changed into precisely the identical narrative they faux to be combating towards”.
