Next Spring, Winter Comes To King's Bounty


When people decide to give their games massive names, do they not realise how difficult it is for me to make puns about them? There's no way I can fit Kings Bounty: Warriors Of The North and any kind of wordplay onto a single line, it simply cannot be done. I should be consulted in naming committees. Henceforth, I'm going to refer to this next in the commendably daft RPG-strategy series as King's Bounty: Northlands, or KB: Nordic Edition. That's what it seems to be anyway, with a new hero called Olaf who is the son of the "Northling King". I'm guessing it's another expansion-type thing rather than a full sequel, but there will be all new locations, units and skills, as well as valkyrie companions who are described as "gorgeous". Perhaps that's one of them in the screenshot above. Gorgeous, is she? You decide. It's out Spring 2012.
