Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – Legacy of the Forge DLC (2025): Forge Your Destiny in Fire and Steel ⚔️🔥

The story of Henry of Skalitz continues—and this time, it’s not just about battles, kings, or conspiracies, but about legacy, craft, and survival. Warhorse Studios has unleashed Legacy of the Forge, the brand-new DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, where players step into the soot-stained shoes of a blacksmith and reclaim a ruined forge in the heart of Kuttenberg. Available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the DLC blends storytelling, history, and customization into an unforgettable expansion of Henry’s journey.

🏰 A World Twice as Large, A Story Twice as Personal

Released on February 4, 2025, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has already cemented itself as one of the most ambitious medieval RPGs ever made, praised for its realism, scale, and immersive storytelling. With over two million copies sold in just two weeks, it continues to dominate the role-playing space.

The base game thrusts players into Bohemia in 1403, during a brutal civil war where loyalty, power, and survival are constantly tested. Henry of Skalitz—warrior, envoy, and blacksmith’s son—fights not only against Sigismund’s invading forces but also against the shadows of his own past.

And now, with Legacy of the Forge, that past comes roaring back in sparks and steel.

🔨 Legacy of the Forge: The Blacksmith’s Path

The new DLC takes players back to Kuttenberg, the medieval city that thrives on silver, coinage, and power. But amidst the chaos of kings and bandits lies a burnt-down forge—abandoned, ruined, and waiting to be reborn.

Players can:

• Rebuild and design the forge from the ground up

• Customize private quarters for a more personal touch

• Live the life of a true blacksmith, crafting weapons and forging relationships that shape Kuttenberg’s fate

It’s more than just a crafting side quest—it’s Henry reclaiming his father Martin’s legacy, tying the hammer and anvil to the larger saga of war, revenge, and redemption.

As one NPC warns: “In these times, the fire of a forge is more dangerous than the fire of war.”

⚔️ Gameplay Evolutions

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II already doubled the scope of its predecessor with:

• A world twice as large

• New dialogue mechanics: Appearance, Coercion, Dominate

• Mounted combat with crossbows and firearms

• Deeper player-driven consequences

Legacy of the Forge integrates seamlessly with these systems. Choices you make as a blacksmith—whom you serve, what you build, and how you wield influence—can ripple through Kuttenberg, altering alliances and enemy behavior.

The DLC isn’t just about hammering steel—it’s about hammering fate.

🎭 Characters and History Alive Again

From Henry of Skalitz (Tom McKay) and Sir Radzig Kobyla (Michael Pitthan) to historical figures like Jan Žižka and Jobst of Moravia, the base game blurs the line between fact and fiction. The DLC continues this tradition, embedding the forge into Kuttenberg’s cultural and political landscape.

In a city where silver equals power, a blacksmith’s forge is no small matter. It becomes a weapon in itself.

🎬 Development and Vision

Creative director Daniel Vávra and the team at Warhorse Studios envisioned Deliverance II as the game they always wanted to make—with 2.2 million words of script, facial capture, stunt riders, and historical authenticity crafted into every detail.

The DLC roadmap promises even more depth:

• Brushes with Death

• Legacy of the Forge (now available)

• Mysteria Ecclesiae

All expansions are part of the Shields of Seasons Passing pass, ensuring that Henry’s saga grows in scale and intimacy throughout 2025.

🎮 Availability

• Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC

• Base Game Release: February 4, 2025

• DLC Release: September 2025 (available now)

For players who already own the Gold or Collector’s Edition, Legacy of the Forge comes bundled in, alongside exclusive quests and in-game bonuses.

🌌 Final Thoughts: A Hammer Strikes Twice

If Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is about wars, kings, and history in motion, then Legacy of the Forge is about the personal—the story of Henry, son of a blacksmith, rising from ashes to shape steel and destiny alike.

Every strike of the hammer is a reminder: legacies are forged, not given.

For fans of grounded RPGs, history-rich storytelling, and immersive world-building, this DLC is not just an add-on—it’s essential.

“From fire comes steel, and from steel comes legacy.”
