Video Gaming News - October 2004
Newport Beach, CA (October 12, 2004) - inXile entertainment today
announced that The Bard’s Tale has gone gold for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox and
will ship to retail outlets the week of October 25th.
“We pursued an ambitious goal when we designed The Bard’s Tale – create a game
loaded with personality, humor and addictive gameplay,” said Brian Fargo, CEO
and founder of inXile entertainment. “We’re thrilled that in a couple weeks
gamers will have a chance to see why the press is saying such great things about
the game.”
From inXile entertainment:
The Bard’s Tale is an action-RPG where the player takes on the role of the
Bard – a sardonic and opportunistic musician and adventurer, driven by carnal
rather than noble pursuits. The Bard, voiced by actor Cary Elwes of “The
Princess Bride” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” fame, is not interested in
saving the world, his humble motivations are strictly “coin and cleavage”. A
truly non-linear game, the player chooses the Bard’s responses towards other
characters he encounters with either ‘snarky’ or ‘nice’ dialogue. Each choice
changes the course of events in the game. The action takes place in medieval
times in a land based on the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland – the
inspiration for many of the classic fantasy stories. Details and images of the
game are available for viewing at inXile’s website,
www.thebardstale.com.
The Bard’s Tale carries a suggested retail prices of $49.95 for PlayStation 2 &
Xbox and has been rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB with descriptors for blood,
language, suggestive themes, use of alcohol and violence. The Bard’s Tale is
being published by inXile entertainment and distributed by Vivendi Universal
Games (VU Games) in North America. For additional information please go to
