Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has acquired two nominations for Gayming Journal’s 2026 Gayming Awards, and the sport’s director, Daniel Vávra, has responded to this with an X publish through which he says he is “actually proud” of the sport’s nominations. Vávra then goes on to indicate the way in which different video games depict LGBTQ+ characters is unsuitable, although he wasn’t particular about which video games he was referring to.
“TRIGGER WARNING,” the publish begins. “Amongst all the assorted awards and nominations we’ve acquired, we’ve additionally simply been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS! I’m actually happy with that, as a result of I completely stand by the truth that the way in which we did it’s precisely how one thing like this needs to be achieved. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (as a result of we present how issues actually had been within the Center Ages with out idealizing them)–and with out shoving it down anybody’s throat or making an attempt to re-educate them like so many titles which can be rightfully known as ‘woke’ today. We made the homosexual group pleased and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, similar to we did for others in different selections and quests, and anybody who isn’t in all probability didn’t even discover. Besides, in fact, for [a] very small and really loud minority.”
He supplied no specifics on which video games had been failing their LGBTQ+ audiences the place Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 wasn’t.
