Daniel Vávra, creative director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, announced the game's nomination for the Gayming Awards on X. He expressed pride in the portrayal of a gay romance option, describing it as non-coercive, natural, and educational. Vávra contrasted his approach with other titles he labeled as 'woke.'
Daniel Vávra posted on X on April 16, 2026, beginning with 'TRIGGER WARNING!' to share the news. 'Among all the various awards and nominations we’ve received, we’ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS!' he wrote. 'I’m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should…' Vávra credited himself with the idea, saying it was his decision and responsibility, and that he convinced the team at Warhorse Studios to include it. He stated the feature was implemented 'non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)' unlike other games that shove it 'down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days.'
