In 2017, in the lead-up to the launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, developer Warhorse Studios was criticized by some online for not including people of color in the game. The studio defended this by claiming it was historically accurate that in early 15th-century Bohemia, especially in the countryside where the game was set, it was rare to see non-white people. Some scholars agreed, others weren't sure, and people online yelled about it, with some right-leaning gamers very invested in protecting the studio from the "woke agenda."
If Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 flew under your radar in 2025, or you just haven't gotten around to playing it yet, now is the perfect time to jump into the sprawling medieval RPG thanks to an early Black Friday deal at Amazon that drops the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 standard edition to just $40 (was $60) and the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition to $70 (was $90).
