Tom McKay, the voice actor behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 protagonist Henry, has said that he would be open to reprising the role for future games as well. Speaking to Dan Allen in an interview on YouTube, McKay also indicated that he might have some idea about where the franchise will be going in the future. Check out the interview below.
When asked by Allen how he would feel if Henry weren’t the protagonist in the next game in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchise, McKay responds by saying that he would be “open to all ideas.”
“From an acting perspective it would be very similar actually,” said McKay. “I’m open to all ideas. We do have a very good sense of what’s happening next. Obviously I can’t talk about any of that, but I think those decisions are not in our hands, and I’m open to all ideas. I love this character, I love the world of this game.”
“You never know,” he continued. “But I’m happy to play this character for as long or as little as anybody wants me to. Of course, it’s ultimately decided by Warhorse. But really the fans kind of dictate a lot of this narrative in terms of what they’re into and what they think and all that stuff. And I think that’s a really appropriate thing.”
McKay has previously been quite open about how much he has enjoyed working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as the voice of Henry. Back in February, he described the experience as an “amazing and unusual” acting challenge in an interview.
“You would kind of go down one channel of a decision and then come halfway back up and go down another one and then maybe all the way back up to the beginning and back down,” said McKay at the time. “And that’s not an acting challenge that you ever would have in TV or film.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S back in early February. The game has seen quite a bit of positive reception, including from our own review. Developer Warhorse had released a trailer a week after the game’s release highlighting all of the praise it had gotten.
The game has also done quite well commercially. Warhorse revealed that it managed to sell 2 million copies of the game just a couple of weeks into release.
In the meantime, Warhorse has continued supporting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with free updates. The most recent one, released earlier this week, brought with it fixes for more than 1,000 bugs, along with features to support modding, and even Barber Mode, which features the ability to customise Henry’s hairstyle and facial hair.
When it comes to more substantial additions to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a slate of DLCs is under development. The first of these, Brushes With Death, will be coming to the game between April and June 2025. It will be followed by Legacy of the Forge in July – September 2025, and Mysteria Eccleiae in October – December 2025.
