Disciples Domination Launches February 12 2026 on PC PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X S
Disciples Domination, the next chapter in the long running dark fantasy strategy RPG series, now has an official release date. Developed by French studio Artefacts Studio and published by Kalypso Media, the game will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X S on February 12 2026. The title was originally announced in August with a broad 2026 window, and this confirmation firmly positions it as an early year release for strategy focused RPG fans.
Disciples Domination represents a notable shift for the franchise. While the previous entry, Disciples Liberation, was developed by Canadian studio Frima Studio, the new installment is being handled by Artefacts Studio, signaling a fresh creative direction while maintaining the series’ core identity. Despite the change in developer, Domination remains firmly rooted in the strategic, tactical foundations that longtime fans expect.
The release date announcement was accompanied by a new video showcase, offering an early look at gameplay systems and battlefield pacing. The official release date trailer highlights the franchise’s signature tactical combat, emphasizing deliberate decision making, unit positioning, and methodical turn based encounters that define the Disciples experience.
Narratively, Disciples Domination is set fifteen years after the events of Disciples Liberation. Players once again step into the role of Avyanna, continuing her journey as she attempts to hold together a kingdom on the brink of collapse. From the capital city of Yllian, players rule both realm and army, consulting trusted companions and advisors as war becomes the only viable path forward. Strategic decisions made at the capital level directly influence the fate of the kingdom and the direction of the campaign.
Companion selection plays a central role in Domination’s design. Players are free to choose which allies stand at their side, and those choices shape both narrative outcomes and strategic options. Each companion brings distinct abilities, perspectives, and strengths, encouraging players to lean into their differences to uncover multiple paths to survival or domination. Poor decisions may see the kingdom fall into ruin, while careful planning can help it thrive against overwhelming odds.
Beyond tactical combat and political decision making, Disciples Domination introduces real time world exploration. Players will traverse new regions, encounter fresh characters, and uncover unfolding conflicts across a living world. The Dwarves also return to the series, though they are not immediate allies. Earning their trust and forging alliances will require effort, diplomacy, and strategic foresight.
With its mix of classic turn based combat, expanded world exploration, and deeper kingdom management systems, Disciples Domination aims to build on the franchise’s legacy while pushing it forward in meaningful ways. As its February 2026 release approaches, the title is shaping up to be a significant moment for strategy RPG fans looking for depth, consequence, and dark fantasy storytelling.
