Kingdom Come Deliverance 2<\/a> has received two nominations for Gayming Magazine’s 2026 Gayming Awards<\/a>, and the game’s director, Daniel V\u00e1vra, has responded to this with an X post in which he says he’s “really proud” of the game’s nominations. V\u00e1vra then goes on to imply the way other games depict LGBTQ+ characters is wrong, though he wasn’t specific about which games he was referring to.<\/p>\n

“TRIGGER WARNING,” the post<\/a> begins. “Among all the various awards and nominations we\u2019ve received, we\u2019ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag<\/a> GAYMING AWARDS! I\u2019m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)–and without shoving it down anyone\u2019s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days. We made the gay community happy and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, just like we did for others in other choices and quests, and anyone who isn\u2019t interested probably didn\u2019t even notice. Except, of course, for [a] very small and very loud minority.”<\/p>\n
