AT A GLANCE

Legacy Edition preserves the original campaign but changes enough systems that old walkthrough, control, save, and troubleshooting claims need rechecking.

Legacy Edition keeps the original War in the North campaign and three-hero structure, but it is a separate 2026 release with modernized systems and current-platform support. Do not label an old guide “Legacy Edition” merely because the story location or boss name matches.

The current store identifies changes including hot-swappable heroes, refined enemy targeting, an improved interface, a new autosave function, performance work, tailored controls, and bug fixes. Those changes affect exactly the areas where old instructions often fail: input prompts, save recovery, party control, targeting behavior, and technical workarounds.

Use this evidence rule:

ClaimOriginal source enough?
Broad story premise or character identityUsually, if it does not contradict the 2026 store
Exact quest trigger or item locationNo; verify in Legacy Edition
Controls, targeting, saves, UINo; these systems changed
Original PC crash workaroundNo; use current Aspyr support first
Local or online co-op availabilityUse the current platform store

This page deliberately does not claim that every level layout changed—or that none did. It defines what is known and where a new check is required. That prevents the most damaging form of thin game content: confident instructions attached to the wrong edition.
