The developers of King’s Bounty II have launched Patch 2 on PC, with the console version coming soon. This patch implemented various quality-of-life improvements and gameplay changes.
One of the most notable features is that items are now equipped automatically if your hero has empty slots for those items. New loading screens have also been added, which shows your exact location. No more guessing where you are in the world of Nostria!
For gameplay changes, wounded soldiers can no longer be killed off. Moreover, any wounded creature can now be fully healed once the battle is over.
The Triumph skill has been reworked as well. First, it now deals damage to an enemy unit. Second, if one of your units kills an enemy using Triumph, that unit gets a second turn and will have all of its skills recharged. If the enemy survives, they will be under the effect of Magic Shackles for two turns.
