The saga of Kingdom Come: Deliverance's voice acting has reached a poignant conclusion. After years of dedication to the acclaimed RPG, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have bid farewell to Warhorse Studios, their final recordings marking a bittersweet end to their involvement. Their departure, however, is not a standstill; it's a transition.
As the actors delivered their last lines, Warhorse Studios simultaneously began auditions for new talent to embody Henry and Hans. This simultaneous farewell and fresh start highlights the cyclical nature of creative endeavors.
McKay, the voice of Henry, eloquently described the unique bond forged during the project:
"In the creative industry, 'family' is often a cliché, but in this case, it's entirely accurate. The relationships I formed during this journey are among the strongest and most enduring of my career."
This sense of family resonates deeply, mirroring the game's narrative. Henry's tragic loss of his parents is a pivotal plot point, a parallel to McKay's own experience of losing his father, which infused his performance with profound emotion. For him, the game transcended a mere project; it became a deeply personal and moving experience.
