The curtain has fallen on a significant chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. After years of dedication to the acclaimed RPG, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have concluded their work at Warhorse Studios. Their departure marks a poignant moment, filled with appreciation, fond memories, and a sense of closure.
However, even as they bid farewell, the studio was already in motion. While McKay and Dale recorded their final lines, Warhorse Studios actively sought new actors to assume the roles of Henry and Hans. The timing—a goodbye for one generation coinciding with the arrival of another—was not lost on anyone.
McKay, renowned for his portrayal of Henry, reflected on the strong bonds formed during the project:
“In the creative industry, ‘family’ is often used loosely, but in this case, it was truly accurate. The relationships I forged during this journey are among the deepest and most enduring of my career.”
The theme of family resonates deeply, both personally and within the game's narrative. Henry's tragic loss mirrors McKay's own experience with the death of his father, imbuing certain scenes with profound emotional weight. For McKay, Kingdom Come: Deliverance transcended a mere project; it became a deeply personal and transformative experience.
