The curtain has fallen on a significant chapter in the history of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. 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, marked by heartfelt appreciation, fond memories, and a sense of closure.
However, even as they bid farewell, the studio was already preparing for the future. Simultaneously with the actors recording their final lines, Warhorse Studios held auditions for new voice actors to assume the roles of Henry and Hans. The transition, from one generation of performers to the next, was a striking juxtaposition.
McKay, renowned for his portrayal of the game's protagonist, Henry, reflected on the unique bond forged during the project:
“In the creative industry, the term ‘family’ is often used loosely, but in this case, it truly resonated. The relationships I built during this journey are among the deepest and most enduring of my career.”
The theme of family wasn't merely a personal experience for McKay and Dale; it was a core element of the game itself. Henry's tragic loss of his parents forms the bedrock of his narrative, mirroring McKay's own experience of losing his father, which added a layer of profound emotion to certain scenes. For him, Kingdom Come: Deliverance transcended a mere project; it became a deeply personal and resonant experience.
