Rockstar has pencilled in a concrete date for GTA 6. While fans will be left waiting another year, Kingdome Come: Deliverance 2's Hans Capon sees cause for celebration. After all, it could be Warhorse Studios' best shot at a Game of the Year award.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was released in February to universal acclaim, with fans and critics praising the title's immersive RPG experience. Widely considered to be Warhorse Studio's "Witcher 3 moment", KCD2 has been frequently thrown into the game of the year conversation. A race which, based on 2025's Metacritic scores, is shaping up to be a competitive one.
Luke Dale, who voices Hans Capon in Kingdom Come: Deliverance I and II, took to X following the announcement, proudly proclaiming: "WE'RE IN WITH A SHOT! GOTY!".
Dale has been widely vocal about his love for the game, with a feed consisting primarily of fan art, screenshots, and memes related to the project. Shortly after his response to the GTA 6 delay, he followed up to clarify his intent, reiterating:
Whether Kingdom Come: Deliverance II makes the cut, will be up to the voters. Based on Metascore, the current 2025 standings sit at:
- 92 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (released Apr 24)
- 92 - Blue Prince (released Apr 10)
- 91 - despelote (released May 1)
- 91 - Split Fiction (released Mar 6)
- 89 - The Talos Principle: Reawakened (released Apr 10)
- 88 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (released Feb 4)
- 88 - Monster Hunter Wilds (released Feb 28)
Competition has been heating up, and with Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Hades 2 and more set to join the fray - the race will only intensify. Regardless of whether Dale gets his wish, 2025 is shaping up to be a great one for gamers.
