The TaleWorld's Forum offers a new version of
Mount & Blade, updating
the no-longer-beta action/RPG to version 1.003. The post is almost entirely
devoted to thanking the academy, so it's not clear what's changed, though there
is this enigmatic note: "And now, without further ado, and with great pleasure,
I present you Mount&Blade 1.003, the final release of our little indie game,
which I believe, we made happen all together..." The download is of the full
game, but unless it is unlocked, it serves as a trial version that caps your
progress to level 7. The download is available on
FileFront and
Gamer's
Hell. In related news, the retail edition of Mount & Blade should now be
available in European stores.
