Lichdom: Battlemage 1.2 is Now Live!

We have just released Lichdom: Battlemage 1.2. This 5.7GB update includes the following content additions and bug fixes.

TL;DR

Bosses now have new achievements for defeating them on Battlemage and Badass difficulties. Previous boss achievements will be awarded for downing bosses on Casual or Explorer difficulties.
- Badass difficulty boss achievements do not currently reward the Battlemage difficulty achievements. We plan to Hotfix this issue after 1.2 has been rolled out.

- Craft every possible Synergy spell

Fixed an issue where sigils were not being highlighted in the sigil selection menu when using a controller
