Daedalic Entertainment announces plans to release Blackguards 2 on January 20th, which is when the strategy/RPG sequel will be released worldwide for Windows and OS X. A trailer released a couple of weeks ago offers part one of a look at new features in the sequel, and here's the news on the release:

During the development of Blackguards 2, one major influence of our team was the feedback of gamers and press to the first Blackguards-game. We listened to them and added new features, unique enemies and enhanced and improved gameplay. In Blackguards 2, battles will be even more epic, and their handling has been significantly tweaked to make them more comprehensible, but also more challenging. Gamers can test out themselves how much more fun Blackguards 2 will be from January 20th onwards.
