The controversy centered on the casting of a white actor to play non-white characters, this was met with some backlash online. “We appreciate everybody who took the time to share their concerns and educate us,” the developer said in response.
The developer also said the original response to the controversy was “insensitive and poorly communicated,” but stressed that the development and casting process was designed in such a way as to remove “unconscious biases.”
Wargroove’s Double Trouble DLC comes out on February 6th for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, with the PlayStation 4 version arriving “soon” after the first launch.
