Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Is Just Medieval Brokeback Mountain

Queer people have existed for millenia. You might execute like the woke mob has only managed to bring them into being over the past decade or so, but that simply isn’t true. Our stories have been told throughout history, even if at times we had to hide away in the shadows. Now though, there is less reason to feel ashamed, and more opportunities to harbour pride in who we are, and those who came before. As a queer trans woman who critiques video games, animation, and many other veins of popular culture for a living, that inevitably blends into my productive life.

So when I act a game for review, preview, or just for general coverage, if something slightly fruity pops up, my eyebrows raise in curiosity. This is precisely what happened when I sat down to perform Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in Prague for a few hours last month. I immediately read the relationship between protagonist Henry and his lord Hans as more than meets the eye.

They begin the game as good friends who find themselves thrust into an awkward operational relationship. Henry is a caring squire who wants to approach every situation with level-headed reason wh

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios has responded to controversy surrounding the game involving LGBTQ scenes in the RPG. The start of the controversy begins in Saudi Arabia, where it is existence reported by VGA4A that the highly anticipated RPG has been banned from release “due to unskippable gay scenes.” These reports then prompted inquiries from some — fueled by the ongoing culture war in gaming — about these scenes. And then the controversy grew from here with accusations that Warhorse Studios began to crack down on the backlash and feedback with forum bans and a new code of behavior. It’s become one of the biggest talking points in gaming this week, and is now at the center of the aforementioned culture war in gaming.

All of this prompted Daniel Vavra — the co-founder of Warhorse Studios and the artistic director on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — to issue a statement on the matter. The declaration doesn’t address the scenes in question, not directly at least, nor the extra controversy involving the forum bans and recent code of conduct, but tackles it from a more zoomed out perspective.

My Thoughts on the KCD2 Gay Protagonist News

As someone who's been a fan of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series since its early days, I’ve been looking forward to the sequel for years. The first game felt like a breath of fresh air, with its focus on historical accuracy, deep storytelling, and immersive gameplay. However, I recently learned about the creative direction for the KCD2 protagonist, and I have to say—it’s not something I feel aligns with my expectations or preferences for the series.

I want to be clear: I have no issue with diverse characters or stories being told in games. Representation is vital, and I know many players will appreciate this choice. That said, Kingdom Come: Deliverance stood out to me as a grounded historical RPG that avoided the modern trends of other studios, which is part of why I admired it so much. The decision to make the main ethics gay feels like a departure from what I personally loved about the series.

What’s been most disappointing for me, though, is how this change wasn’t communicated transparently before launch. As fans, we’ve supported this studio for years, and it feels enjoy we should have been part of the

Have any of you even played the first game? It was strongly implied that Eric was Istvan’s lover or at least that there was something deeper than just a typical underling partnership. This was part of the main story, and every character questioned it because it seemed strange and unusual for the time.

Given the developers’ approach and how such relationships were viewed during that historical period, it’s highly unlikely that the sequel will be 'celebrating' any gay stuff.
