**TL;DR;**  
The root cause of the issue is " casting the game mode to your custom game mode in a class that’s _ **also referenced by your game mode** _". (quoting [Editor launch stuck at 72% due to a blueprint issue - #2 by Deiain](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/editor-launch-stuck-at-72-due-to-a-blueprint-issue/418227/2))

**SOLUTION**  
In my case, the issue was related to a `KingOfTheHillGameState` script that included a cast to `KingOfTheHillGameMode`. This same GameMode also referenced the same GameState, causing a circular dependency issue.

I identified the problem using Git: I compared the current HEAD with a previous commit (one I knew was working) and reverted the file I suspected was causing the issue.

It turned out that a dangling cast was responsible for the error.
