A significant chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has concluded. After years of dedicating their voices and essence to this cherished RPG, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have officially stepped away from their roles at Warhorse Studios. Their departure was marked by a poignant farewell, filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and a clear sense of closure.
As they recorded their final lines, the studio was already in the process of auditioning new talent to fill the roles of Henry and Hans. This transition underscored the bittersweet nature of their exit—a farewell for one generation heralded the beginning for another.
Tom McKay, celebrated for his portrayal of Henry, 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.”
This theme of family was not only central to their personal experiences but also a core element of the game itself. Henry’s narrative is driven by the tragic loss of his parents, a storyline that resonated deeply with McKay, who drew from his own experience of losing his father to bring authenticity to those emotional scenes. For him, Kingdom Come: Deliverance transcended being merely a project; it became a profoundly personal journey.
