The Bard: Saviors of Queens - Announced (April Fool's)

Dhruin · April 2, 2011

CD Projekt Red has put some effort into their April Fool's with the "announcement" of The Bard: Saviors of Queens. The announcement is below and head over to the Saviors of Queens site for a trailer and dev diary video (presumably cut together from Witcher 2 footage, so probably worth a look).

CD Projekt RED has just announced its next game - THE BARD: Saviors of Queens. The adventure is supposed to revolve around an undisclosed poet whose name is yet to be determined.
Following recent video game trends the title will offer a very short and linear story. Almost no gameplay whatsoever and twenty launch DLCs, including a special pink banjo (normally obtainable by finishing a game) and a unicorn mount, will have you stuck in front of your computer screen for minutes. Visit http://www.saviors-of-queens.com to feast your eyes on the brand new announcement trailer and first installment in SoQ Dev Diary series. Less details to be released soon.

I regard self-irony as a sign of matureness.
