A significant chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has concluded. Tom McKay and Luke Dale, the voices behind the beloved RPG, have recorded their final lines at Warhorse Studios, marking a poignant farewell filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and a sense of closure.
As McKay and Dale bid their goodbyes, the studio was already in the process of welcoming new talent to take on the iconic roles of Henry and Hans. This transition underscores the cyclical nature of the creative industry—a farewell for one generation heralding the arrival of another.
Tom McKay, who brought Henry to life, reflected on the unique sense of camaraderie that developed during 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 resonates deeply both within the game and McKay's personal experience. Henry's storyline is driven by the tragic loss of his parents, a narrative thread that McKay connected with on a personal level, having experienced the loss of his own father. This made certain scenes particularly poignant for him, transforming Kingdom Come: Deliverance from a mere project into a profoundly personal journey.
