TALISMAN: DIGITAL EDITION ON PS4 - AN UPDATE

Hi Nomads!

We’ve got an exciting update to share with PS4 owners! We’re pleased to announce that we will be updating the PS4 version of Talisman: Digital Edition to bring it in-line with all other platforms. That means all the content and quality of life improvements we’ve rolled out will be available to all Talisman owners on PS4.

You might have seen earlier in the year that we published a blog about the state of Talisman: Digital Edition on PS4 and what it’s future would be. If you missed it, you can give it a read here: Talisman: Digital Edition on PS4

A lot of you were very understanding of the situation, and we massively appreciate everyone who valued our transparency. Back then we explained that the PS4 version of Talisman was running on an older engine, and an update would require a complete engine update - this isn’t a small task.

The good news is that we’ve now reached a time where we can justify assigning some members of our team to work on updating Talisman: Digital Edition for PS4. We’re not sure how long this will take, but we still want to let players know that we haven’t left the PS4 version behind!

Once we’re closer to finishing this update, we’ll let you know when to expect it to release - as we said, it’s not a small task! We know you’ll probably have a bunch of questions about how we’re planning on rolling out this update, so we’ve tried to cover some of the common questions below:

What happens if I already own Talisman: Digital Edition on PS4?

Once we roll out this update, you won’t have to do anything other than download it - you’ll still have access to all the same content you had. Then enjoy all the new content we’ve put out since then!

Will I have to buy anything again?

You won’t have to re-purchase any content you’ve already purchased. Everything you’ve bought is yours to keep, and we’re not changing that.

What about all the expansions/dlc that have come out since?

We’re going to be releasing the extra content that has been created for Talisman: Digital Edition onto PS4 for players to purchase. We’ll share more information about how we’ll be offering this as we get closer to release.

Will the PS4 version continue to get updates from now on?

Right now we’re planning on releasing just this update to bring the PS4 edition of Talisman: Digital Edition in line with other platforms as they are right now.

We’d like to continue updating the PS4 version of Talisman, and once we have a full understanding of how much time and effort future updates will require from us we’ll be able to make a decision on what we will be doing going forward.

Does this mean you can make it cross-platform compatible with Steam etc.?

Sadly not, we’re just updating the game to bring it in line with other platforms first. Once we’ve rolled out the update, we’ll be keeping an eye on how many people are playing online on PS4 before we decide what we want to do with cross-platform play.

How long will it take for this update to be done?

We’re not 100% sure yet! It’s a big project for us, but as soon as we know more we’ll be sure to shout about it.

How can I stay up to date with this?
