Disciples II: Rise of the Elves is an expansion to the original Disciples II: Dark Prophecy that expands the game's universe by adding a new race — the elves — with unique units, heroes, and magical abilities. The expansion offers new campaigns, quests, and storylines focused on the elves' conflict with other races.

The gameplay retains the base system of turn-based tactical battles and settlement development, but now players must explore new territories and adapt to the peculiarities of developing elven settlements and units. The innovations make battles more diverse and strategically rich, and campaigns more varied thanks to additional missions and events on the map.

Players highly praised Rise of the Elves for expanding the original game's possibilities, adding a new race and story branches, though some criticized the balance and campaign difficulty.
