JUST ANNOUNCED: THREE NEW CHARACTERS - THE VAMPIRE, SATYR AND PILGRIM.
Hi again Talisman fans!
First of all, we hope you’re all enjoying the new content we released for Talisman: Digital Edition last week! If you haven’t checked out the Legendary Decks yet, then you can find out more about them on our blog post here.
If you’re still looking for more Talisman content, we’re happy to announce we’re releasing three new characters for you to battle against your friends with. These three characters are The Vampire, The Satyr and The Pilgrim. They will be familiar to any long-term Talisman fans, as they made their debut in the 2nd Edition more than 30 years ago!
We’ve worked alongside some of our community members to update them to fit Talisman: Digital Edition, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on them. Whether you remember them from 2nd Edition or it’s your first time playing them, they’ll definitely bring something new to your table.
