A chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has come to a close. After years of lending their voices and souls to this beloved RPG, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have stepped away from the microphone for the last time at Warhorse Studios. Their farewell was a poignant moment of reflection, filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and an undeniable sense of finality.
Yet, even as they recorded their last lines, the wheels of change were already in motion. As the actors bid their farewells, Warhorse Studios was actively auditioning new talent to take on the iconic roles of Henry and Hans. The irony of this transition was not lost on them—a farewell for one generation marked the birth of another.
Tom McKay, celebrated for his portrayal of Henry, spoke candidly about the unique sense of family that had developed around the project:
"In the creative world, people often call their teams a 'family,' but rarely does it hold true. Here, however, it was different. The connections I made on this journey are some of the deepest and longest-lasting of my career."
The theme of family was not just central to their personal journey but also a core motif in the game itself. Henry's tragic loss of his parents fueled his narrative, and McKay's own experience with losing his father added a profound depth to certain scenes. For him, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was more than just a project—it was a deeply personal experience.
