The gaming world is abuzz with the recent news that Rockstar Games has pushed back the release of GTA 6 to next year. This move has sent ripples through the industry, and one unexpected beneficiary is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
A Boost for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Luke Dale, the voice actor and facial model for Hans Capon in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, took to Twitter to express his excitement about the GTA 6 delay. Dale directly referenced Rockstar’s announcement and joked, “Our time is now! GOTY!”. He also posted a separate tweet saying, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 GOTY 2025”. While these tweets were likely made in jest, they highlight the potential impact of GTA 6’s delayed release on this year’s gaming awards.
With GTA 6 no longer competing for Game of the Year, other high-quality games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may have a better shot at winning top honors. The game’s already strong reception could be further bolstered by the absence of one of its biggest competitors.
About Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is already available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Dale’s character, Hans Capon, is a significant figure in the game as a nobleman and close friend of Henry.
The delayed release of GTA 6 has created a buzz around other upcoming games, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is poised to capitalize on this momentum. Whether it will take home the Game of the Year award remains to be seen, but the delay has certainly given it a boost in the running.
