A significant chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has drawn to a close. After years of dedicating their voices and souls to the beloved RPG, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have stepped away from the microphone for the final time at Warhorse Studios. Their farewell was a poignant moment 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 McKay and Dale said goodbye, 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, 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 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 only a personal journey for the actors but also a central motif in the game itself. Henry's tragic loss of his parents fueled his narrative, resonating deeply with McKay, who drew from his own experience of losing his father to bring authenticity to certain scenes. For him, the game transcended being just a project—it became a deeply personal experience.
