Everything About Talisman 4th Edition Revised Reprint 2020
/I have noticed that there has been a lot of confusion in regards to the reprint that is coming around later this year for Talisman 4th Edition Revised. I wanted to do my best to compile sources and links out to information in regards to everything we know about the reprint so we can all be more excited about it and less confused. I will work to keep this post updated as new information comes out.
One thing that has changed over the past few months is the mixed results of shipped product based on locations in the world. I want to emphasize that this post covers the North American region specifically so if the dates do not align with your experiences that could be why.
BE SURE TO CHECK EVERY HEADING AS INFORMATION CONTINUES TO UPDATE
North America will be receiving a new batch of the base game reprint in July 2020 and Expansions in August 2020. This information was received by contacting Pegasus Spiele directly.

What Sets Are Being Reprinted?
The information of the sets that are being reprinted is being pulled from the US Catalog from Pegasus Spiele for 2019 (pages 9-11) and includes the following sets:
Update: For many, the lack of product being received is growing really frustrating, especially for pre-orders. It’s worth noting that some of the SKU’s below are showing up on amazon my Pegasus Spiele. The can be ordered by clicking the links to the sets that exist right now. Disclaimer: These links are affiliate links to amazon. Keep in mind if you are in the US the shipping cost will be quite high as these are being sourced from the company themselves and not Amazon or LGS. Also many of these sets are not going to be in stock for several months yet. Hopefully we can see more stock coming in on the current releases to the sites that offered pre-orders and our LGS. As always if your game store has these sets, please support them first!

Talisman: The Dungeon Expansion (Wave 1)
Talisman: The Frostmarch Expansion (Wave 1)
Talisman: The Highland Expansion (Wave 1)

Can Someone Please Explain Nether and Deep Realms?
Nether Realm and Deep Realms is said to be released in one set called “The Lost Realms”. This is set to release at the September date as well.
To use the The Lost Realms expansion, you need the Talisman base game as well as both The Dungeon and The City expansions.

When Can I Get My Hands On The Reprint?
There have been conflicting reports on when these sets will actually be released. We can expect sometime around September 2019 for the english version based on the Pegasus Spiele Website when looking further into these product pages. There is some confusion to older site entries currently that are dated for November 2019 like the Firelands Expansion. But it seems as the images of the sets with the correct company logo on them that the date is correcting to September.
Several weeks ago https://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/274536 updated the Pre Order Notes and removed the May/June timeline. This further aligns with the September 2019 release.
Pegasus Spiele is also currently running a contest where the winner can win a copy of the reprint base game and that can be found here! This will run to August 31st 2019. Quite fitting seeing the new expected arrival time over in Europe is August. The English version still appears to be sitting at September 2019.
