Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – Legacy of the Forge is set to expand Warhorse Studios’ ambitious medieval RPG with one of its most personal and immersive storylines yet. Launching on September 9, 2025, this second major expansion invites players back into Henry’s world, where his journey takes on a deeply emotional turn. Rather than chasing kings or clashing armies, Henry finds himself drawn to the memory of his late father, Martin, as he attempts to restore a legendary forge in the city of Kuttengberg. This narrative direction not only grounds the adventure but also emphasizes the theme of legacy, family, and the quieter but no less meaningful victories of medieval life.

The DLC enriches the role-playing experience with blacksmithing as a core progression path. Players can rise through the ranks of the blacksmith guild, take on commissions for armor and weapons, and eventually earn recognition as a master craftsman. Daily quests add variety, ranging from practical commissions to quirky requests from townsfolk, reinforcing the lived-in atmosphere the series is known for. In addition, players can now design and expand Henry’s personal space—including his forge, living quarters, and their surroundings—with a staggering 136 million customization combinations. These choices are more than cosmetic, shaping how Henry lives and works, while adding a satisfying sense of ownership to his journey.

On top of the 15–20 hours of fresh narrative content, Legacy of the Forge offers a gameplay loop that can easily stretch into dozens more. Managing a forge, building a home, and navigating Henry’s personal ties bring a slower, reflective rhythm to a game usually known for its brutal combat and political intrigue.

By turning inward—towards family history, craft, and community—this expansion ensures Kingdom Come: Deliverance II continues to evolve as one of the most authentic medieval RPG experiences to date. Check out our comparison website to pre-order Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – Legacy of the Forge.
