The Game Awards 2025 have concluded, and the biggest winner was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which took home the award for Game of the Year. The French game’s success generated a lot of buzz, particularly among the team at Warhorse, the creators of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Sir Tobi, the studio’s communications director, responded to KDC2 not winning the Best RPG award by stating:
We have officially been robbed!
Many players commented on the developer’s post, agreeing that a game with so much freedom for players to create their own experiences deserved the award instead of the more straightforward game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
- Warhorse’s head, Daniel Vávra, took a less emotional approach, congratulating the creators of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on their win and humorously adding that he would have to use Air France the next day.
- The official Kingdom Come: Deliverance II account on X had a funny take on the whole situation. They posted a famous meme of the dog sitting in a burning room saying, “This is fine.” Later, they also published a screenshot from KDC2’s dialogue menu, where the selected option is: “blame the French.”
- Moreover, Sir Tobi calmed down after some time and even took a photo with the French developers from Sandfall studio.
A great misfortune for KCD2
It’s clear that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II faced some tough luck. This fantastic RPG would likely have won an award in most years at The Game Awards, but the competition was incredibly strong this year. As a result, it didn’t win any awards, making it the biggest disappointment of the night.
However, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the clear standout winner. It took home awards for Game of the Year and Best RPG, as well as Best Independent Game, Best Performance, Best Indie Debut, and accolades for its Music, Narrative, Direction, and Story.
