The third hotfix for King's Bounty II is live on PC (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in progress). In this update, we focused on further improving the game's overall stability and fixing the most common issues that could block progression. Here's what changed: [b]Gameplay and balance changes[/b] [list][*] Added a new kind of interaction with NPC when the main character rode a horse. [*] Corrected and improved the additional turn — now unit can get an additional turn if users choose the defensive tactic.
