Paradox ”feel honoured” to have been part of the journey and as a parting gift to fans, they’ll be giving Early Access to Magicka: Wizard Wars in their library.
This also means that the Mount & Blade section of the Paradox forums is soon to close, but first they’ll disable new threads and replies so fans may salvage info.
”As of January 31st at 00:00 (UTC -08:00) Paradox Interactive will be handing over the reins for Mount and Blade back to the developer, TaleWorlds. It’s been five and a half years since Mount and Blade was released, five and a half years of sieges, tournaments and pitched open-field battles, and of course, the odd expansion or two!” said Paradox.
”We feel honoured to have fought beside you and at our final parting of ways would bid our farewells with a gift which has automatically been added to your Steam library.”
”What is your gift? One of our internal studios, Paradox North, is currently hard at work on a spell-casting action PVP game by the name of Magicka: Wizard Wars. As we know that you are all fans of fast-paced tactical combat we feel that you would be equally as adept with a robe and staff as you are with sword and shield, as such our gift to you is an invitation to our Early Access alpha of Magicka: Wizard Wars.”
All official Mount & Blade discussions over a mug of ale will now be held solely on TaleWorlds’ forums.
