Knights of the Chalice 2 Update – New Patch and Guidebook

While there’s still no convenient way to purchase Heroic Fantasy Games’ Knights of the Chalice II, those of you who already own the game thanks to its Kickstarter campaign, can now enjoy a new patch and the first version of the official Guidebook. Beyond that, come December 1, 2020, we’ll be able to buy the first game in the series on GOG.

The link above has plenty of additional details, and here’s the latest patch notes and some future plans:
