Paradox Interactive today announced the opening of the final beta, version 0.960, for their upcoming PC medieval, action-RPG title, Mount & Blade.
Mount & Blade will be released in North America on September 16th and in Europe on September 19, 2008. The beta period will be open for two weeks, closing on August 25th.
The game 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 gamers impressed by the game’s realistic (and not so easy) horseback combat 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.
Mount & Blade will be available for purchase in stores and for digital download at GamersGate.
