Activist groups have targeted Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 following the discovery of in-game subpoenas, sparking a campaign to cancel the project. The controversy gained traction after news of the game's ban in Saudi Arabia surfaced online, fueling speculation about its content and alleged "progressive" themes. This led to a wave of online attacks against the developers, with attempts to boycott Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and discourage players from supporting the studio.
Warhorse Studios' PR manager, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, responded to the controversy, urging the public to rely on official statements and avoid unverified online information. He confirmed that review codes would be distributed "in the coming days" following the game's gold master completion in early December. These codes are expected to reach reviewers and streamers approximately four weeks prior to release, allowing ample time for previews and reviews. Interestingly, initial "final previews," based on portions of the review build, are anticipated just one week later.
