The curtain has fallen on a significant chapter in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance saga. After years of dedication, Tom McKay and Luke Dale, the voices behind Henry and Hans respectively, have concluded their work at Warhorse Studios. Their departure was a poignant occasion, brimming with appreciation, fond memories, and a palpable sense of closure.
However, even as they delivered their final lines, the studio was already in motion, auditioning new actors to inherit the roles. The bittersweet irony—a farewell for one generation, a commencement for another—was not lost on anyone.
McKay, renowned for his portrayal of the game's protagonist, Henry, eloquently described the unique bond forged within the team:
“In the creative industry, the term ‘family’ is often used loosely, but in this case, it truly resonated. The relationships I forged during this project are among the deepest and most enduring of my career.”
This theme of family wasn't merely a personal reflection; it was a core element of the game itself. Henry's devastating loss of his parents served as the driving force of his narrative, mirroring McKay's own experience of losing his father, lending a profound emotional depth to certain scenes. For him, the game transcended a mere project; it became a deeply personal and moving journey.
