pushsquare.com:

Tom McKay, the actor behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 protagonist, Henry of Skalltz, has been putting in some serious studio time. Due out sometime in 2024 on PS5, developer Warhorse Studios revealed that his lines in the sequel are now locked and loaded, the work of 508 hours of recording time, or three whole weeks, if you prefer.

Revealed last month, the sequel to 2018's Kingdom Come: Deliverance sounds like it could be the big RPG to beat this year, provided Warhorse can stick the landing. On Twitter, the developer announced McKay's impressive effort (thanks, PSU), recorded across 127 sessions. Further, creative director Daniel Vavra added that the anticipated sequel will feature «five hours of stunning cinematic cutscenes». Vavra says that it's the game the team always wanted to make, and with the studio swelling to the size of some 250 staff, it now has the resources and experience to deliver on that original vision.

The «bigger, better» sequel is out this year

Are you looking forward to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? Did you play the original game, and what do you think of literally weeks' worth of Henry audio to get lost in? Let us know in the comments section below.

Khayl Adam is Push Square's roving Australian correspondent, a reporter tasked with scouring the internet for the most succulent of PlayStation stories. With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

The original had some glaring issues, but the charm and love poured in by the development team was clear for all to see. This is low-key one of my most anticipated games this year.

Bet all that talking made him hungry.

Fat pay check. Henry will be feasting.
