Deep Silver and Warhorse Studios showed up for gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 to show off a first-look trailer for the next Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 story DLC, Legacy of the Forge, as well as a release date of September 9, 2025.
The new footage arrived as one of many trailers that premiered throughout the two-hour show, updating players on the next chapter in Henry’s journey. It’s a 30-second video that mostly serves to whet the appetite for players ahead of its September release date for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.
“Returning to Kuttenberg, Henry puts his blacksmithing skills to the test to acquire and repair a legendary burnt-down forge, where his father, Martin, spent his youth as an apprentice,” an official description for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Legacy of the Forge DLC says. “Venturing down memory lane, Henry learns of his father’s legacy as a blacksmith, revealing a part of his life that has remained hidden until now. Gaining new blacksmith prestige, Henry becomes a forge master, helping the people of Kuttenberg with sword crafting, armor-smithing, and other quirky requests.”
Warhorse tells Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 fans that Legacy of the Forge also comes with a new home customization system with more than 136 million combinations for Henry. Players can expect their new digs to be fully upgradable, with features like a forge and private quarters.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Legacy of the Forge will cost $13.99 on its own. It’s also included as part of the $30 Expansion Pass, which comes with the already released Shields of Seasons Passing and Brushes With Death DLC packs as well as the upcoming Mysteria Ecclesiae content. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition owners will also receive the new content at no extra charge.
Warhorse has plans to release more major content for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 through the end of the year. In the meantime, be sure to check out why the medieval RPG sequel recently got the film festival treatment. You can also see everything else announced at gamescom Opening Night Live 2025.
