Mount & Blade Release Date Announced

Spreading the good news tonight, Paradox and TaleWorlds Entertainment have announced that their upcoming Action-RPG, Mount & Blade, will begin shipping to stores across North America on September 16th and in Europe on September 19th. Unfamiliar with the game? Here's a short description from the press release:

Mount & Blade is a single-player, third- or first-person action/role-playing game with a focus on medieval combat. Developed by the Turkish development house TaleWorlds Entertainment, the beta version of the game has received acclaim worldwide from users impressed by the game’s realistic horseback combat, luscious graphics, and open-world sandbox gameplay. The latter enables players to roam the map freely in a medieval world that offers activities ranging from hunting down bandits, to trading for profit in the game's complex economic system, to becoming a commander and taking part in the wars, with the ultimate goal of becoming a great lord of the realm.

Bring on the mounted combat!
