King’s Bounty: Warriors of the North Release Date Announced / Pre-Order Available

Hey, anyone have anything to say about the actual game? What about the Valkyries, looks like they take the place of a wife? I saw a screen shot that seemed to show that. It will be interesting, I actually liked the way the dragon worked much better than the rage spirits in the first game.

I believe that's the case. I think I read it on this forum that there's five Valkyries, one of whom you choose as a 'major' slot (and you get a large bonus from her) and the other four take up the 'minor' slots, giving you smaller bonuses.

The game is very different than previous versions. It has valkyries but they are different than wives; you collect 5 of them; one of them can be named 'leader' and have some slight bonus from the collection. The key feature is they add rage skills (replacement to the dragon). As far as I can tell there are exactly 5; so you do not have to pick which ones you want; only which one you wish to be leader. As a by product there are 4 fewer equipment slots (than previous games). On the bonus you can feed your unwanted items to the Valkyries and they will grow stronger.

"The King’s Bounty: Warriors of the North pre-order is now available at Steam, Amazon, GameStop, GamersGate and many others. Each shop offers additional bonuses for pre-orders."

how come despite the above claim, the pre-order is only on steam & gamers gate? will there be a pre-order for gamestop with the 10% discount as indicated? if so, it has to be tomorrow because it will be released the next day.

I think it means GameStop PC Downloads, which used to be known as Impulse. I just checked, however, and it's not showing on there for me, but it might be a regional thing (which Impulse/GameStop PC Downloads uses heavily). You're right about it not being on Amazon US, though.

Unfortunately the pre-orders on Gamestop and Amazon are not available due to 3d party issues. I can only recommend to use Steam or GamersGate instead.
