The two latest trailers for Mount And Blade: With Fire And Sword have arrived, and they strike a sharp contrast. The first, above, shows off mostly ambient elements. Soft, menacing music plays as it sets the stage for brief bits of action at the very end. The second, below, is a bit more action-oriented. It shows a player fighting and dying in various battles, each of which (we presume, due to the respawn notice) is multiplayer. Both of these trailers are good primers for the changes to Mount and Blade, as they showcase both the setting (historical Europe) and mechanics (firearms) alterations.

The Polish novel With Fire and Sword is one of the best historic fiction novels ever written, and is both exciting and quite optimistic. Paradox acquired the rights to make a game of it, and the result is Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword. As shown in this trailer, it has a number of things that the original two games do not: firearms, much better graphics, and (most importantly) a historical setting. Just taking a glance at the map at the beginning shows you Europe as it once was. Here's hoping the three different storylines hold and that the game is just as epic and thrilling as the book it is based on.
