- Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is in early access right and will be released on February 4.
- However, ahead of its release, the game has reportedly been banned in Saudi Arabia.
- According to a Saudi gaming outlet, the highly anticipated title has been banned due to promoting LGBTQ agenda via unskippable cut scenes.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 early access was recently made available for the players, and the initial reception is quite positive. It is well optimized on consoles as the troublesome Xbox Series S runs KCD2 at stable 30 FPS on native 1080P resolution.
That said, the fandom seemed to have some concerns regarding the game going woke. It seems like the highly anticipated title is promoting an agenda via unskippable cut scenes, which has caused Saudi Arabia to ban it in the country.
Why it matters: Saudi Arabia has always been sensitive to such things, as it never promotes LGBTQ for various reasons. So, it is understandable that the game should be banned in regions where this agenda isn’t promoted.
A Saudi gaming outlet has posted on Twitter that the game has been banned in Saudi Arabia for promoting immoral scenes through unskippable cutscenes. The outlet further reports that the developer refused to release a revised version of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 for this region; hence, it was banned.

It is also worth noting that the authority that is responsible for such tasks in the country has not made an official statement regarding the matter. So, the game hasn’t been officially banned yet.
This is just a rumor from an outlet, so fans should take this with a grain of salt until the official authority gives a statement regarding the ban.
That being said, this report is most likely true as Saudi Arabia has banned several games before in the region due to immoral scenes, which is why the country doing it again won’t be surprising at all.
