PC Gamer has word from a Paradox Interactive press conference today on plans for Mount & Blade - With Fire and Sword, a new expansion for the medieval combat game. The game will be set in 1653, and will feature muskets, as well as "an actual storyline to follow in singleplayer." Word is: "As a mercenary leader, you’ll either be able to make alliances or go lone-wolf. Enhanced siege mechanics bring a new level of gameplay, with the ability to bribe a guard to open the door, use gunpowder, or even poison the food supply during sieges." They say this is due this spring, and this trailer has a first look at gameplay. The embedded version of the clip is below.
