The second expansion pack for the acclaimed indie RPG game Mount and Blade will be getting its next expansion pack very soon. Publisher Paradox Interactive has announced that the expansion, With Fire and Sword, has gone gold and will be released on May 3.

The expansion from developer Taleworlds will add, among other things, 15 new multiplayer maps for Mount and Blade. It also adds new weapons such as fireatms (muskets and pistols) and grenades and adds new castle siege features such as blowing up a wall or even bribing an officer to get into the enemy's defenses. The expansion pack will be sold for $14.99.

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.
