Fans of the King’s Bounty series will be thrilled to see their requests were answered as King’s Bounty: Crossworlds will also include a full-scale game editor. As in the multi-award winning 1st game, the player has many options to battle both new and old enemies. Various new skills and abilities, as well as a flying steed, will help to overcome the hordes attacking the kingdom. The Princess is also accompanied by her tamed dragon, at the very beginning it is small, but its abilities develop steadily until it becomes an incredible ally. The dragon will do its best to protect the Princess during the battles, starting with simple attacks and finishing with fire breathing and volcano summoning.

Still no multiplayer?

Anyway I am glad to see another expansion, this is a great news

Does "massive expansion of the original KB:AP - Orcs on the March" mean that we can continue playing with a character who has finished the original campaign? Or will we need to start with a new character, like we had to do with the Gift Bag?

Hope the releasedate is not for russia only and we must wait until 2011

Bit confused is there one campaign (expansion of existing campaign) or two ? I.e, is the arena just a series of fights or an actual campaign if it is a campaign is it as large as kb-l/kb-ap or very short ?

Either way this sounds good (but sadly it sounds like the last int he series).

Excellent!

I would like to know about the Russian/English version release dates as well.

As for the campaigns, looks like there will be one regular campaign, and two "single scenario" play modes.

No multiplayer, but a map editor. At least the series is evolving.

Good news and much anticipated, more than Starcraft 2 in my case!

Well if this was just announced i wouldn't expect release dates to come out in awhile.

Some of the features had been announced many months ago, so it may be released in September.
