Despite the chatter surrounding Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s approach to romance and representation, Martin Klíma, executive producer of the upcoming sequel, seems to think the outrage barely made a dent. The first game sparked some debate over its lack of LGBTQ+ options, with critics accusing it of ignoring queer representation in its medieval setting. But Klíma suggests this backlash was mostly coming from a small group of particularly vocal online commentators, rather than a widespread player concern.
Looking back on both Kingdom Come: Deliverance and its sequel, Klíma believes the controversy had little to no impact on how the games were received overall. The core audience, it seems, was more focused on the historical realism and deep storytelling than on the culture war noise swirling around romance options. It’s a reminder that sometimes the loudest voices aren’t always the ones shaping a game’s success or legacy.
