Great news if you are one of the people that adopted Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games on PlayStation 4!
After a dog’s age lagging behind the other digital versions, due to the engine used for the game being retired, the PlayStation will be getting all of the recent updates and content that the rest of us have taken for granted.
Take yourself over to the latest developer’s blog on the Nomad Games site and see what’s in store!
It’s been a little while since I posted some news here, but as you know things haven’t exactly been ‘normal’ and the majority of my posting has been through the Talisman Island Facebook Page and the associated Talisman Boardgame Discussion Group there. As usual, I’ll try to do better, but it wouldn’t hurt (if you use the platform) to swing by and give the page a once over from time to time!
Anyway, during the quiet time, Talisman: The Horus Heresy from Nomad Games was removed from online stores due to the expiry of the associated licensing, but they had a pretty well publicised sale for its last weeks, so you’ve probably already picked it up!
As a result of this, Mattias Westlund, the talented chap behind the soundtracks for many of Talisman’s digital iterations, has remastered and rereleased the soundtrack to the game, under the new name of Heresy!
Get yourself over to Bandcamp and pick it up, and while you are there you can grab the ‘sequel’ to the soundtrack, named Imperium!
Games Workshop‘s special promotion on Steam is now in its 4th year, and once again brings a boatload of new content and weekend long discounts to a whole range of games based on their IP!
You can now snag the Pilgrim, Satyr and Vampire characters for Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games separately or as part of the All Characters Bundle with a nice little extra discount.
There’s also a good discount to be found on the main games and expansions in the Talisman Universe on Steam – Talisman: Digital Edition, Talisman: Origins and Talisman: The Horus Heresy!

Talisman: Digital Edition is getting even more character packs as announced today by those busy goblins at Nomad Games!
This time we will see the Pilgrim and Satyr, which are updated veterans from the 2nd Edition of the game, and a new Vampire character to terrorise your opponents with. The new character can even travel around the board as a Bat!
There’s no definitive release date as yet, but the three characters are available to wishlist on Steam already!
Nomad Games have just flicked that switch and the four new Legendary Decks and three new Characters are now live for Talisman: Digital Edition on Steam, iOS and Android!
Sadly due to delays over the current lockdowns, the Nintendo Switch version won’t be updated just yet, but you’ll soon be able to synch and play with the other platforms soon.
Legendary Decks, which make the vanilla decks in the game more challenging by upping the difficulty of Enemies and reducing some of the perks that other cards give you, are available currently for the base game plus The Reaper, The Dungeon and The Highland expansions and you can even get them a bit cheaper by getting them through bundles.
You can pick all four decks up at a discount as the Legendary Deck Collection, which gives you an automatic saving of 10% on the price and you can also save on the three new characters!
The Ranger, Swordsman and Witch Hunter characters are also available to purchase individually, but if you buy the All Characters Bundle, Steam will automatically remove any characters that you already own and you’ll get a nice 25% discount on any that you’ve yet to pick up!
Stay tuned as the plan is for more legendary decks along the way…
News Announcement from Nomad Games
Legendary Deck Collection on Steam
During these trying times it’s nice to get a bit of good news, and today we have a couple of things to get excited about from those boffins at Nomad Games!
May the 7th will see the launch of Legendary Decks for Talisman: Digital Edition on Steam, iOS and Android, followed shortly afterwards by a release on Nintendo Switch.
At the same time you will see three new characters – Ranger, Swordsman and Witch Hunter – who will be made available to purchase in the game too!
German-speaking fans of Talisman can take advantage of an AMAZING offer that’s just appeared on the Pegasus Spiele webstore with the Talisman Mega Bundle!
You can get the ENTIRE catalogue of German-language Talisman: Die Magische Suche 4. Edition and its expansions, including Talisman: Legendäre Abenteuer, PLUS a code for Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games at a great saving!
The discount is live until the 31st of March, so you’ve got a bit of time to make up your mind, but I guess it’s only while they have stock available.
It’s alive!!
After a small delay while the gremlins were removed from the pipes, Talisman: Digital Edition by Nomad Games is now live on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch!
The base game of Talisman comes complete with three expansions, the City, the Sacred Pool and the Frostmarch to give you a head start with your adventures, but you can also buy a number of bundles which include an assortment of the various expansions available so far, plus the additional characters that you can play as.
If you want to snag the complete Talisman catalogue on Switch, you will have to wait until the 19th of March when three HUGE upgrade bundles will be available for ALL of the available expansions, ALL of the available characters or BOTH!
Sadly, I’ll have to wait until my daughter snags a copy before I can see how it plays on the Switch, but there’s always Christmas! Mind you, Santa still owes me a PlayStation 4 from when the game was released on that platform!
After a slight delay, the pesky gremlins at Nomad Games have been slain and a new release date has been confirmed for when Talisman: Digital Edition will appear on the Nintendo Switch eShop!
Make a note of March the 9th in your diaries so you’ll remember to check the game out on the new platform as soon as it drops!
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a sale currently on Steam, the App Store and Google Play, so that should keep you busy for the next week or so!
