In anticipation of Valentine’s Day, Paradox Interactive presents a special developer interview for all you “lovers” out there of Mount & Blade: Warband.
The multiplayer sequel to 2008′s Mount & Blade will incorporate new gameplay based on marriage, in addition to intense 64 player combat on horseback, into the action-RPG that is set to release in March of 2010.
Join Armagan Yavuz, Lead Developer at Taleworlds Entertainment, as he takes players through the new marriage features in Mount & Blade: Warband during the Paradox Interactive Convention.
“It’s a very important aspect of real life and we wanted to translate that into the game,” says Armagan, as he speaks on romance in the title. “It’s a different kind of challenge.”
