Overview
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 received two Gayming Awards nominations, including fan favorite and a best LGBTQ+ character nod for companion Sir Hans Capon.
- Co-founder Daniel Vávra welcomed the recognition in a post on X and said he was really proud of the Henry–Hans relationship.
- He argued the romance was handled as a player choice and not forced, saying it felt natural and educational rather than what he called woke.
- He also said the inclusion was his idea and that he had to convince others at Warhorse, while noting players can pursue women or Hans to shape Henry’s sexuality.
- Warhorse has said it is fed up with being dragged into culture-war fights, a sensitive topic given Vávra’s past Gamergate-era stance and the polarized reactions to KCD2’s representation.
