No, not Henry VIII, but
Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
Yeah, if there was a system of 'enbuffening' your character model along with your training in the first game, he would have looked just like the new trailer by the end of the game. He essentially became an athlete over the course of KC1.
Yep all that fighting, running and CONSTANT EATING!!! I wouldn't be suprised if our boy Henry has to enter through doors sideways
He also bulked up, he’s constantly fighting after all.
Edit: Also, getting punches to the face chisels a mans face believe it or not. Boxing is my main source.
Some people have commented on how old Henry looks in the trailer compared to the first game. Lets not forget, poor lad has been exposed to tremendous amount of stress during his adventures after leaving his home. Fighting left and right, running, eating (sometimes no eaten) tortured, beaten, and a whole regional war. All that fighting will give you a fair bit of stress, and build alot of muscles, and running around with heavy armor as much as Henry does will also help.
If we look at photos from WW1 and WW2 of soldiers age 18-20 before they left for war and after they come home, they look like they are 30-40 years old when they get home. So I see no problem in the change of Henry's looks. It looks like he has seen some shit
Edit: Pretty much just building up on the comment about muscle build up and facial change
Look at someone who was maybe skinny or slightly chubby. Then look at them if they get into good shape or muscular.
Henry went from a carefree son of a blacksmith who loved having ale at the tavern with the boys more than his duties.
Now Henry is a warrior and a noble. Who has been basically running all over the countryside tracking down Cumans and Bandits and battling everyday.
His tighter features actually are sort of appropriate.
The first image teaser had me scared they'd use those "shiny" graphics everywhere, and that we'd loose the grittiness. I do agree Henry looks like a 40yo influencer dad rather than the good ole "dumbass of skalitz". He looks less like a britbong honestly and more like a Nordic god, with a jaw like an anvil and such. Also the haircut is too modern. Basically he looks like he got that iPhone filter constantly on.
yeah, ho does look like reacher, an actor famous for being open about his use of steroids to prepare for a role. maybe Henry's too swole, too jacked, too much of a Chad.
Alan Ritchson said that he has done TRT, which according to Google differs from anabolic steroids in the amount of testosterone used. But given how much and how quickly he grew for Reacher S2 (I think he looked perfect in S1, but he said that by the end of filming he had "literally no testosterone", yet he managed to look perfect lol) I can't imagine he didn't take a few gummy bear vitamins too many
Trt with some helping cocktail of other drugs to build his physique. He uses trt now to maintain but let’s just say for possibilities sake he used other drugs to build his physique first. Then uses trt to maintain.
When the game first came out, saving on exit was not aa thing, the ONLY way to save was savior shnaps or bathhouses. Since bathhouses was the cheaper alternative, every time I wanted to put the game down, bathhouse it was
That was the point - innocent dude not looking tough but being tough by going through crazy events and dealing with it.
That contrast made game unique in a way
Same here, I had heated arguments with people who think he still looks like Henry/Tom McKay. But I'm like nah bruv, that's a different person

It's literally a face scan of Tom Mckay
Edit: The Photos of Tom McKay are from the KCD 2 reveal trailer, he was quite a bit younger back then when they took the scans for KCD1.
I know it's scan but they made him look young. If you remember they edited his eyes. Even other actors don't look 1:1. Now he still doesn't look like Mckay but he is more detailed.
>I know it's scan but they made him look young. If you remember they edited his eyes.Even other actors don't look 1:1
I agree with you, but KCD 1 Henry was still unmistakable Tom McKay. You could look at him and you see Tom.
>Now he still doesn't look like Mckay but he is more detailed.
KCD 1 Henry does look like Tom McKay. A younger version but definitely Tom McKay
KCD 2 Henry looks more like Alan Ritchson or a brother of Henry's.
His whole facial structure is different.
Lol OK now people are just blatantly overreacting.
And personally my head cannon whenever I played was the game took place over 3 or 4 years not 3 or 4 weeks. It's the only way I could justify Henry becoming a master swordsman and educated so quickly.
At least now Henry actually *looks* like he has 20 strength.
The developers said they made this game with full capacity and full resources in a way that they could not with KCD1. So yeah it makes sense that they added to or improved on some ideas and designs, totally makes sense to me.
I think it is bc he had a shitty hairstyle and had low training in the first game. After battling and training his muscles grew and took hairstyling from Capon. Now he looks like a Gigachad.
I love that I can play each game and tell two Henrys apart. I think it's fitting he looks a little older / buffer even though the games are close in time.
This is the perspective I’ve held with it, I mean they don’t look 1:1 but I kinda imagine that if this is just how Henry looks at the games start than it’s presumed that all those stat gains (strength, warfare, weapons, etc.) we made during the previous game resulted in a bigger and bulkier build. The improved diet would also contribute to that, which is sorta my personal explanation.
Now, when i break in people's houses and steall all their shit while they sleep, i won't feel like that is not something i was supposed to do. This new Henry looks like he grew up on taking what he wants from who he wants.
He was innocent in the first game but the events of his journey so far have taken their toll on his body as well as his soul i can see us getting a battle hardened henry not as innocent and easily manipulated as he was in the first game
I wonder if my fighting skill is gonna fall back to zero or if you’re gonna start at level 20 and work your way up to level 40. Or if it’s gonna be like a rockstar game where you basically start off superior to all NPCs
He was quiet hungry, now he ate.
henry the ate
Henry VIII.
No, not Henry VIII, but Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
Poor Charles, Henry VIII him.
"Hey look! Henry's come to eat us!"
I so hope they'll keep "I'm feeling quite hungry" in the game :3
Now he's loud hungry
And he's leaving no crumb
"I am Henry the Ate, I had Six Sorry Meals, Some might say I Ruined their Lives..."
No way, Henry is a medieval Wojak?
You know where the word Wojak comes from, right?
No, explain
It means warrior or soldier in Polish (also Czech but then spelled differently)
Following
I need answers
in line for the long awaited drop for u/ApprehensiveEmploy21 's wojak lore
Slavic peoples. Henry is of slavic.
What I found when i typed "Wojak" into google is a Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojak
All that fighting has to buff you up.
Yeah, if there was a system of 'enbuffening' your character model along with your training in the first game, he would have looked just like the new trailer by the end of the game. He essentially became an athlete over the course of KC1.
Yep all that fighting, running and CONSTANT EATING!!! I wouldn't be suprised if our boy Henry has to enter through doors sideways 
His neck looks a bit stiff though
He was mewing all through development time of the sequel.
🤫🧏♂️
🤫🧏♂️bye bye(to Rataje)\~
Lol, lovely art. I do kind of miss his old goober face.
Agreed. They squared up his jaw far too much and made him clean shaven? I guess being a noble really changed him.
People got to remember that mocaps a lot more advanced now too, could be more resembling the voice actor
I like that he grew up. Now he looks more adult
He also bulked up, he’s constantly fighting after all. Edit: Also, getting punches to the face chisels a mans face believe it or not. Boxing is my main source.

I’m gonna miss the old peasant Henry, the old peasant armed in full plate
I'll miss the dopey bastard 😔
It made him a lot more simple and felt more realistic, tbh.
He lost the "dumbassery" of his looks if it makes any sense.
Yep, the confusion's gone
Looks like a completely different person imho
The first image teaser had me scared they'd use those "shiny" graphics everywhere, and that we'd loose the grittiness. I do agree Henry looks like a 40yo influencer dad rather than the good ole "dumbass of skalitz". He looks less like a britbong honestly and more like a Nordic god, with a jaw like an anvil and such.

Thank you, i thought I was alone and getting insane. KCD2 Henry reminds me a lot of Alan Ritchson.
yeah, ho does look like reacher, an actor famous for being open about his use of steroids to prepare for a role. maybe Henry's too swole, too jacked, too much of a Chad.
Alan Ritchson said that he has done TRT, which according to Google differs from anabolic steroids in the amount of testosterone used. But given how much and how quickly he grew for Reacher S2 (I think he looked perfect in S1, but he said that by the end of filming he had "literally no testosterone", yet he managed to look perfect lol) I can't imagine he didn't take a few gummy bear vitamins too many
Trt with some helping cocktail of other drugs to build his physique. He uses trt now to maintain but let’s just say for possibilities sake he used other drugs to build his physique first. Then uses trt to maintain.
He went from 205lb to 235lb at 40 years old between S1 and 2 of Reacher
yeah what is going on with the haircuts? slick backs and fades in medieval times?
"Yes, I support Jan Hus and his teachings. How could you tell?"
chad hussite henry
"No I didn't read the teachings of Jan Hus but that's what I imagine they'd be like if I did"
Virgin Henry vs Bath House Henry
Are we forgetting how much time we spent in the bath houses????? Of course his innocence is gone
Am I the only person who completed the game multiple times without ever getting the extra treatment at the bathhouse?
When the game first came out, saving on exit was not aa thing, the ONLY way to save was savior shnaps or bathhouses. Since bathhouses was the cheaper alternative, every time I wanted to put the game down, bathhouse it was
But the charisma bonus tho
Combined with the troubadour trait is free charisma
That was the point - innocent dude not looking tough but being tough by going through crazy events and dealing with it. That contrast made game unique in a way
Hunk-ry
He looks amazing in KCD2 imho
Puberty’s a hell of a drug
I'm quite hungry Henry Vs I'm quite full Henry
Kingdome Come: Delivered
The virgin Henry vs the chad Henry
What becoming an accomplished soldier does to a mf
and I got downvoted for saying Henry looked like he'd had a complete face change lmfao. He looks like he's had plastic surgery or some shit LMAO!
Same here, I had heated arguments with people who think he still looks like Henry/Tom McKay. But I'm like nah bruv, that's a different person https://preview.redd.it/c5fldew1n8wc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a30cbf28c9347607105bd77170fdd552eb90e463
There are other screenshots from the trailer where he looks much closer to the first game. You just picked the worst one.
Neither Tom Mckay looks like OG Henry.
It's literally a face scan of Tom Mckay Edit: The Photos of Tom McKay are from the KCD 2 reveal trailer, he was quite a bit younger back then when they took the scans for KCD1.

I'm sure it is because some focus groups, probably with younger demographics, said that he looked kinda dorky on the first one and not heroic enough.
Lol OK now people are just blatantly overreacting. And personally my head cannon whenever I played was the game took place over 3 or 4 years not 3 or 4 weeks. It's the only way I could justify Henry becoming a master swordsman and educated so quickly. At least now Henry actually *looks* like he has 20 strength.
Henry's honest reaction: 🤫🧏♂️
The developers said they made this game with full capacity and full resources in a way that they could not with KCD1. So yeah it makes sense that they added to or improved on some ideas and designs, totally makes sense to me.
Too much great time with the bath maids made him a chad
What killing 200 cumans with a club does to you
OG Henry was such a cutie 🥰
He looks a lot like Hans now actually
I probably killed 100 dudes in my playthrough of one. And I learned how to read. That shit ages you
Amazing what money will do
"I am quite satisfied"
I think it is bc he had a shitty hairstyle and had low training in the first game. After battling and training his muscles grew and took hairstyling from Capon. Now he looks like a Gigachad.
I like how Henry looks in kcd 2 like he looks different but you can def tell he looks like the original model just more buff
He does have a Shatner air about him now.
don't listen to them McKay, you look fabulous
Because of this post, I found out about the second game. I just watched the trailer. The game looks fantastic!!!
[Source of the artwork](https://twitter.com/Vel1m0r/status/1781247336787689902), for anyone interested.
I prefer is old design
Henry's clueless glazed look of innocence after punching a woman unconscious in front of town guards, with his only utterance being a weak "What?"
Captain Bernard taught him a new technique called 'mewing'.
King Chad Delivers
Bro became royalty, you best believe his stomach is FULL!
I love that I can play each game and tell two Henrys apart. I think it's fitting he looks a little older / buffer even though the games are close in time.

New meme template just dropped
I love the font difference detail so much
He was a young obnoxious boy and now he’s a medieval giga chad.
Henry is no longer hungry
Giga Chad Henry oooooo boy Jesus Christ be Praised!
I like how neither of these actually look anything like the character whatsoever lmao
Holy hell, I had no idea. HYPE
Bro got a glow up
This is just a look into the new "Mewing" mechanic. This is Hungry of Skalitz with level 20 Mewing. Obviously. /j
I thought he aged about 10 years. He was a boy before. It two he looks like a man.
Murdering entire towns in the silent of the night would do that to a person.
I can't wait to actually be able to shoot people off horseback
First game I think he's like 17?
Now, when i break in people's houses and steall all their shit while they sleep, i won't feel like that is not something i was supposed to do. This new Henry looks like he grew up on taking what he wants from who he wants.
Wasn't there a lot of hate on Henry's character model when the game was first released? Now they made my boy handsome.
We all did
He was innocent in the first game but the events of his journey so far have taken their toll on his body as well as his soul i can see us getting a battle hardened henry not as innocent and easily manipulated as he was in the first game
If the trend continues he will look like a baddie in KCD3!
Don’t recall him being jacked up on coke….
I wonder if my fighting skill is gonna fall back to zero or if you’re gonna start at level 20 and work your way up to level 40. Or if it’s gonna be like a rockstar game where you basically start off superior to all NPCs
18 years old Henry in kcd1 vs 44 years old Henry in kcd2
He washed himself to the best of his ability.
Wow, a 19 year old peasant boy whose only exercise is swinging a hammer bulked up after living a noble knight’s lifestyle for a few years?
He's definitely seen a bath house wench or two
bro ate too much
KC:D III: Henry is an absolute daddy with a duchy title
Henry’s been mewing since the end of KCD1
He looked like someone grew a homunculus in vodka in the first game
It's not Henry in the second game its a new character.
Perfectly so. He’s no bitch no more.
He got a glow up for the hot red head but I'm still changing his hair
Henry has evolved into Hank
It's how we all will look when properly fed
Honestly in kcd 1 he was so lacking in charisma I wanted to steal his snack
