Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is on the horizon, and the voice actor for protagonist Henry has revealed he spent over 500 hours recording lines for the character.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is shaping up to be a big game. It has over 2.2 million words in its script according to developer Warhorse Studios.
This would put it ahead of Baldur's Gate 3, which is the Guinness world record holder for the longest video game script ever at over two million words.
In a quote tweet to our article about the hefty script, Tom McKay, the voice actor of protagonist Henry, writes, "And here's why I was in that sound booth for over 500 hours." According to a forum post on gamedev, it takes a professional voice actor around three hours to record one hour of dialog.
So, 500 hours in the booth could equate to over 150 hours' worth of in-game lines. I absolutely hate standing, and as a former bartender who regularly had to stand for 12 hours at a time, I hope McKay got a lot of sitting breaks.
