A significant chapter in the saga of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance* has drawn to a close. After years of dedication, Tom McKay and Luke Dale have bid farewell to their roles at Warhorse Studios, marking the end of an era for the beloved RPG. Their final sessions were steeped in nostalgia and gratitude, yet underscored by a poignant sense of closure.
As McKay and Dale recorded their last lines, Warhorse Studios was simultaneously ushering in a new era, auditioning fresh talent to take up the mantles of Henry and Hans. This transition, occurring in real-time, highlighted the bittersweet nature of their departure—a farewell for one generation paving the way for another.
Tom McKay, renowned for his portrayal of Henry, reflected on the profound bonds formed 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.”
The theme of family resonated deeply both in their personal experiences and within the narrative of the game itself. Henry's journey, driven by the tragic loss of his parents, mirrored McKay’s own poignant experiences, particularly the scenes involving his character's grief, which were informed by McKay's real-life loss of his father. For McKay, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance* transcended being merely a project; it became a profoundly personal endeavor.
