If the date is correct, the publisher must hurry. Only two months left until the release date but I haven't saw any marketing effort or game talks on the net. This is bad omen.

Two of the most fatal mistake in releasing old KB:TL was lack of decent marketing effort and good English translation it deserved. Marketing by Atari had much thing to be desired. That was lukewarm at best. The translation was not done by the English natives, let alone professional translator. If it was translated in better English, advertised properly in magazine and game web sites and distributed more widely to retail stores, it would have made into top ten world best seller game list of last year.

Don't repeat the mistakes. Do not publish this game internationally via Atari. They failed to do marketing the KB:TL as it deserved.
Advertise it early if not widely. Release news about it frequently on the game site. Tease the gamer. Announce even *BAD* news. Exposure is everything. Let them KNOW this good game. Don't waste this good money-making opportunity with poor marketing and translation.

Yeah, they should advertise it at Ign.com or Gamespot.com. I already see some news on the upcoming Disciples 3. Even Disciples 3 has exposure and it will be out later than King's Bounty: AP.

Hopefully you can tell us what month in Autumn/Fall.

[Metathron]

Well, August is here, I hope we have an actual release date soon.

[Elwin]

autumn not august :> and autumn end in december actually ^^

[CyberGuy]

Well, in North America, Autumn can be:

Summer June 20 - Sept 19.
Autumn, Sept 20 - Dec 19
Winter , Dec 20 - Mar 19
Spring Mar 20 - June 19.

----------------

However, according to wiki.answers.com, Autumn can even be March-May...so maybe March-May 2010....YIKES!!!!!

Isn't Turbine suing Atari for its (lack of) advertising and marketing for their Dungeons & Dragons Online? Looks to me that Atari doesn't really do a good marketing job.

I say: Do it like Blizzard does.

From experience I, and others, know that "It's finished when it's finished, we never promised to make the deadline" and while I don't say that it's 'okay' to postpone a date with 6-24 months a la Blizzard, take it easy and do this properly.

Even non-native english-speakers can do a very good job translating to english - or look over how someone else has translated (looking at grammar and all that).. I know some pretty horrible translations, or even just subbing, done by native english-speakers.

If anyone ever wants anything to be looked over (though I don't speak russian if that's the language to translate from, I'd be willing to look over grammar and wording) I'm willing to do it for free.. xD.. I'm not a professional, won't be in a few years, and thus can't promise a perfect job - but I'm willing.

Now that I've pimped myself a bit, this game looks just as awesome as KB:TL from what I've seen this far.. xD..

I'm a nobody, so if you've got professional translators who speak and write english well, nevermind me xD..
.. awkward. I'm still posting this.

Best wishes.
