Patch Note

WHAT’S NEW

Manny and Sid are coming to the Kingdom!

That's right Kingdomers, to conclude this winter season, the iconic gang from 20th Century Studios Ice Age is joining the Kingdom. Manny has been putting a lot of thought into the safest possible place to raise a family. He is going on an impromptu scouting expedition with Sid and Diego. But an earthquake strikes in the middle of their journey, separating the trio, and now they’ll have to brave new obstacles to find each other and escape to safety!

… Who else but Scrat could cause an earthquake?

BALANCING CHANGES

Why do we rebalance the game? Disney Magic Kingdoms is a game with many interconnected systems. Since our initial launch, we have added a lot of new features and content, and each time we do this, it can significantly affect how these systems interact with each other. To ensure that the gameplay experience remains as intended, we are sometimes required to make balancing changes. Ultimately, rebalancing the game is necessary so that Disney Magic Kingdoms is fun and enjoyable for all. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
