Legion Arena ready for Gold is the oddly worded press release announcing that Legion Arena "is ready for gold master," which seems to amount to a gold announcement for the European edition of Slitherine's strategy game:

Varese 28th September 2005. Black Bean announces today that Legion Arena is ready for gold master. Legion Arena, a hot title for Autumn 2005, will be released on October, 21st throughout all European countries and will be also soon launched by Strategy First on the US market.

Developed by Slitherine Software, will be the answer to the prayers of all the fans of the strategy genre and of ancient Roman Empire.

Marco Minoli, head of marketing at Black Bean Games, underlines the high expectations about the product: "Legion Arena is a pure mix of brain challenging strategy and entertainment. We have tried with Slitherine to create an accurate historical setting for a very enjoyable game. We believe in this title and in the possibility to make it the success of this season as showed by the great number of positive feedback on the dedicated website www.legionarena.com, where you can also pre-order the game."
