Publisher Kalypso Media is set to have a big year. The company is celebrating 20 years of being in business by releasing 3 titles (that we know of anyway). The first of those titles is the strategy RPG Disciples: Domination from developer Artefacts Studio. Now with less than a month to go until the game releases the game is available for pre-order in time for the February 12th release date.
Disciples: Domination will have two options for players to pre-order, a $49.99USD standard edition as well as a $59.99USD Deluxe Edition. Pre-ordering either edition will get players the Corruption Skins Pack, a set of cosmetics imbued with the corrupted mana surging through Nevendaar.
For fans wanting just a little bit more, the Deluxe Edition comes packed with a bunch of extra digital content. That content includes:
- Two exclusive weapon skins: Hope, Avyanna’s razor-sharp blade forged to protect Nevendaar, and Authority, a staff representative of Queendom.
- Resource Pack and a Digital Compendium to immerse players in the dark atmosphere of Nevendaar.
- Sovereign’s Pack: featuring unique outfits for Avyanna, her companions, and her loyal steed.
Additionally, players who pre-order the deluxe edition will get to explore Nevendaar 3 days early, with access to the game opening up on February 9th ahead of the official release date on the 12th. It appears the early access is only available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X and Xbox on PC.

Physical Edition? Not Yet, But Not Ruled Out
For those who are interested in a physical edition of the game, there is currently no information available on if we will see that. On Kalypso’s FAQ page about the game they have this when it comes to a physical edition.
“While we always strive for retail versions of our games, the demand for these versions is on a global decline. A retail version for Disciples: Domination remains to be confirmed, we will keep you posted! Availability may vary depending on territory.”
Having reached out to Kalypso about this myself, I can say I remain optimistic that we will see a retail edition, but time will tell.
