Their lack of commenting on this here gives me a bad feeling that they don't want to say anything because it is months away for the rest of us and they know it will only annoy us. This sucks.

Yea usually Evegeny or Anatoly would have said something by now squashing any bad info but the fact that neither have posted in quite sometime I would have to agree with you kingimp

I hope they are just on vacation :P

Seriously though, the lack of info is pretty worrying...considering the Russian release is literally 10 days away...

yes maybe there coming to U.S. to personally deliver the first shipment so we get it the same day :P

Anyone Official: Tell us something! Seriously, the lack of knowing is worse than anything (except like "It is canceled" or "We have decided to restart and make a space age version" but I doubt either of those will happen)

Well, the preliminary release date in Europe and USA is autumn 2008. And we will sure report to you as soon as the exact date will be specified.

So, 6 months after it's released in Russia. Great! :roll:

you may laugh at me, but Im brazillian (we speak portuguese here), and started learning the basics of russian reading so I can play the game. Since I dont want to understand everything is happening, just the basics, I think a 2 weeks study time will be enough. At least to play a few skirmish games of KB! :)

These sites helped me a lot :

Unfortunately or fortunately (depends on the player :)) King's Bounty belongs to the category of games where dialogues and the whole story line play a major role. There is also quite a number of jokes in dialogues. All of this together makes a lot of text and localization is one of the most tough points here. This is the reason why it will take several months before the game is released outside of Russia.

King's Bounty is one the biggest titles coming out this year and we really want to make everything good and translate the game in a proper way, so you can enjoy it.
Thanks for understanding!

Oh man...that is horrible news. I am glad you guys are trying to get it right...but geesh...that long?

Well, I was really looking foward to this game, it will probably just drop off the radar now.
