Apologies for being a little bit late with the big news, but the new update for Talisman: Digital Edition by Nomad Games for the PlayStation 4 is now LIVE!!
Now you can experience the expansions and new characters that players on the other platforms have, though sadly cross-play is not a possibility at this time.
Go update and snag that juicy DLC!
Well, after a whole month of virtual inactivity I figured it was about time I posted something to the site instead of relying on the feed from the Talisman Island Facebook page to do the job.
As you might know, we actually moved house in March and it’s been an eventful couple of months with a distinct lack of real internet connectivity and furniture going missing and unpacking countless boxes!
So, here’s a basic rundown of what’s been happening of note, and hopefully I’ll be able to keep abreast of things from now on… probably…
Yesterday, I stumbled across a new entry on the GTS Distribution site for Talisman: Harry Potter Edition which will be coming from The Op around July time.
Since the last post I’ve received my copy of Talisman: Star Wars Edition (also from The Op!), but I’ve yet to get a game together for it. One cool thing to note is that the game came with a special promo pack of four cards for the game which was a nice surprise!
People have begun to receive their copies of the new Talisman Adventures Fantasy RPG from Pegasus Spiele, and mine should also be on its way.
I can’t wait until things are more or less back to normal and we can get an adventure going in person!
A recent post from Nomad Games on their social media suggests that the long-awaited updated for the PlayStation 4 version of Talisman: Digital Edition is just about ready, so we await that with interest.
I don’t know about being an ‘influencer’, but I can’t really help with reviewing the game as I don’t actually have a PS4!
Expansion reprints and new localisations have been appearing from various publishers like REXhry, Matagot and Galakta. I’ll try and get a list together of the latest releases in the near future.
I’m still struggling with the job of thinning my collection, partially due to the reduction of storage space, but after moving the boxes around my room about five times so far, I’m getting there (and I can see the floor!)
Obviously, to sell on the bulk of the games (excluding English-language versions) would be a logistical nightmare, what with the additional shipping costs associated with the B-word, but I’m sure I’ll find some way of doing it.
I think that’ll do for now, so thanks to everyone for their patience and with a bit of luck ‘normal’ service will resume soon where there’ll be a lack of posting with no real excuse!!
Much love, Jon <3
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!
So much Talisman news this week, it’s been difficult to keep up with it all!
Currently, Talisman: Digital Edition for PS4 and PS Vita from Nomad Games is on sale for 66% off on the PlayStation store for the next three weeks!
(Thanks for the heads up Neil!)
I thought I’d better repost this from the Talisman Island Facebook page, but there are a few bargains to be had on various Talisman digital properties this weekend from Nomad Games, so I thought I’d list them all for you!
Talisman: Digital Edition on Android is currently 99p with Talisman: The Horus Heresy being £1.79
On iTunes you can pick up Talisman: Digital Edition again for 99p with Talisman: The Horus Heresy at £1.99
For the next few days you can snag Talisman: Digital Edition for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita (America only I’m afraid!) which comes with a boatload of expansions included for $8.99
…and finally, the awesome deals of Talisman: Digital Edition and Talisman: The Horus Heresy are still on at Bundle Stars are still on, so grab a bargain for gaming on Steam!
That should set you all up nicely for The Dragon Expansion that should be getting a release in the next week!
PHEW!!

During tonight’s Twitch stream of Talisman: The Horus Heresy by the devs from Nomad Games it was mentioned (amongst other things – see below) that the game was currently on sale for the next few days at a MASSIVE 80% off on Gamersgate!
On top of this, you can enjoy various discounts on Talisman: Digital Edition plus its expansions and packs, including the Gold Pack and Season Pass!
If you are lucky enough to live within one of the qualifying areas, you can also pick up the PlayStation version of Talisman: Digital Edition for a 45% discount on the PlayStation Store. I think it is currently limited to European countries at the moment, but can’t check properly as I don’t actually have a PS4 or PS Vita!
There was also some talk about upcoming releases for Talisman: The Horus Heresy, which will include the Shadow Crusade expansion at some point over the Summer, and the latest Heroes & Villains pack in the next couple of weeks.
These are included in the current Season Pass for the game, so now could be a good time to pick one up if you haven’t already!
AND!!!
A sizeable patch has been dropped for Talisman: Digital Edition with a number of post-Firelands fixes updating the game to Version 49772. If you follow the link below, you can read up on what exactly has been tweaked!

As promised, during tonight’s Twitch stream of Talisman: Digital Edition, Nomad Games announced that the next expansion coming to the game is The Dragon!
This update should be a good one too, as the expansion introduces some of the more complicated mechanics to the game, like Dragons Scales and two new Inner Region boards!
You should also keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming community competition being run by the Nomads to help name some of the spaces on the Dragon Tower board.
Tonight’s stream was particularly interesting as it used the recently launched PlayStation version of the game, and to help out the community on the console, the Nomads have added a Talisman Digital Community Forum to the PlayStation forums.
The forums are accessible through your PS4, but I hear that you can also get various apps that can give you access!
…and if that wasn’t enough, it turns out that there is currently a sale going on where you can pick up Talisman: Digital Edition and Talisman: The Horus Heresy at a nicely discounted price!
The switch has well and truly been flicked and now Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games is available to buy on the PlayStation Store for both PlayStation 4 and PS Vita!
The PlayStation version of the game, developed by BlitWorks in Spain, comes complete with a truck load of extras, including The Reaper, The Dungeon, The Frostmarch, The Highland, The Sacred Pool, The City & The Nether Realm expansions, plus a massive 58 characters that you can adventure as!
You can also pick up an avatar bundle on the store, featuring five iconic images, to show off your love for the game.

Nomad Games have just released the fantastic news about how Talisman: Digital Edition is coming to consoles for the first time!

Playing Talisman on a big screen from your favourite armchair? Yes, please!
