Einige Blogs, aber auch der Cosimshop in seinen News, haben dies bereits verkündet.
Hier nun die Seite von FFG, welche auf das neue Spiel verweist UND aber auch ein Link über die zukünftige Handhabung von BattleLore, welches sehr artverwandt wohl mit dem neuen Spiel von FFG ist.

Sehr interessant fand ich diesbezüglich:
[i]Q: In terms of German BattleLore, it has been noted that the most recent expansion “Creatures” will not be available in the German language.
CP: That is correct. The German publisher Heidelberger Spieleverlag, has done an outstanding job of taking on the German BattleLore mantle. Unfortunately, related to the manufacturing issues of the core set, it is not feasible for them to continue a localized edition of BattleLore[/i]
Demnach wird es wohl keine deutschen Erweiterungen zum BattleLore geben.
[i]Q: Speaking of BattleLore, the main BattleLore game has been out of print for a while. Will this come back into print?
CP: There have been, and continue to be, some very serious issues in reconciling the production methods and expectations in the way Days of Wonder produced the BattleLore main game with those of FFG. We understand the lack of availability is an issue and we’re working on a solution. This issue has also affected the German version of BattleLore......
.....On top of that, the factory that DOW used for this production essentially admitted to pricing their manufacturing of the original BattleLore “to get the business in the door” -- which means that the costing levels on the first run was eminently underpriced.
This, set against the overall backdrop of an already steeply escalating cost in game manufacturing, has made the core game a serious issue. Reprinting the core game “as is,” would essentially result in a near $150 retail price point, which is obviously unacceptable."

We were concerned that the classic BattleLore base game, as had been created by Days of Wonder (“DOW”), was going to be troublesome on a production level. We did not, to be honest, expect it to essentially be non-manufacturable, as is the case.

Hmm...interessante Aussage, wie ich finde....demnach darf man gespannt sein, wie ein [b]vermeintlich zukünftiges [/b]Basisspiel von BattleLore wohl aussehen mag....
