Disciples: Liberation Update 1.2
Disciples,
Disciples: Liberation has received the major update 1.2 on Windows, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Just in time before the Paths to Madness open in Disciples: Liberation with the DLCs’ launch on March 24th, the world of Nevendaar received some significant improvements, some rebalancing, and a lot of bug fixes.
Update 1.2 adds several improvements, like the option to dismiss a selected spell/ability with a right mouse click. When hovering over a unit, the equipped shard and weapon are now displayed in the tooltip. Additionally, several magic abilities for Avyanna have been rebalanced for a better campaign experience.
Update 1.2 also addresses an issue where the journal was empty after finishing the prologue quest and an issue with a feral elf warrior in the backline that could lead to softlock. Check out the full change log below and discover a lot more changes and details.
Thank you very much for all your support and your constructive feedback which helps us improve the game.
Enjoy your time in Nevendaar,
Your Kalypso and FRIMA Team
