If you’ve ever thought, “Henry should really stop getting beat up and start making weapons instead,” then Legacy of the Forge might be the DLC for you. Slated for a Fall 2025 release, this expansion finally lets Henry lean into his blacksmithing roots—but what exactly will it include? Let’s take a look at what we know and what fans are speculating is in store for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
What We Know About Legacy of the Forge
Henry Becomes a Blacksmith (For Real This Time)
Instead of just watching his dad forge a sword in the prologue, Henry will actually get his hands dirty.
The DLC revolves around restoring and running a forge, possibly in Kuttenberg’s Jewish Quarter, where his adoptive father Martin once worked.
Expect crafting mechanics—likely involving making and repairing weapons, maybe even customizing gear.
New Quests and Storyline
This DLC seems to focus on Henry’s personal history, potentially uncovering more about his father’s past.
Some fans theorize there will be moral choices, like deciding whether to craft weapons for noble causes or war profiteers.
New Weapons and Gear
If Henry’s running a forge, it’s safe to assume new weapons and armor will be introduced.
There’s also speculation about special blueprints or hidden mastercraft weapons tied to the story.
Theories and Speculation
A Personal Quest for Vengeance?
Some believe the DLC will dive into Henry’s trauma from Skalitz, forcing him to reconcile his past while forging a new future.
Will there be a revenge arc? Maybe Henry will craft a weapon specifically to reclaim his father’s stolen sword.
Owning and Managing a Business?
Could Henry’s forge be an economic venture like the Pribyslavitz DLC from the first game?
Players might need to gather rare materials, hire workers, or strike deals with merchants and nobles.
Forges and Combat Upgrades?
Some fans hope for new weapon perks, like forging lighter, stronger, or deadlier weapons.
Could we get enhanced armor reinforcement, making Henry a tougher fighter?
A Hidden Forge with Legendary Weapons?
Given KCD’s love for historical detail, some think Henry will discover lost blacksmithing secrets.
Maybe he’ll find a legendary forge hidden somewhere in Bohemia, producing weapons stronger than anything seen before.
Final Blurb
If Legacy of the Forge delivers on its promise, it could bring a long-awaited blacksmithing system, deep lore connections, and maybe even a business sim element. Whether Henry becomes the finest craftsman in Kuttenberg or just another medieval handyman, one thing’s for sure—he’ll finally get to do more than just swing a sword.
Now, the real question is: Will Henry still manage to get robbed while holding a hammer?
