A chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has drawn to a close. After years of lending their voices and souls to the 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 final lines, the wheels of change were already in motion. As the actors bid their farewells, Warhorse Studios was actively auditioning new talent to step into the roles of Henry and Hans. The irony of this transition was not lost on them—a farewell for one generation marked the beginning of another.
Tom McKay, renowned for his portrayal of Henry, spoke candidly about the unique sense of family that had formed around the project:
“In the creative world, people often refer to their teams as a ‘family,’ but rarely does it ring true. Here, however, it was different. The connections I made on this journey are among the deepest and longest-lasting of my career.”
The concept of family was not just a theme in their personal journey but also a central motif within the game itself. Henry’s tragic loss of his parents fueled his narrative arc, resonating deeply with McKay, who drew from his own experience of losing his father to bring authenticity to certain scenes. For him, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was more than just a project—it was a profoundly personal experience.
