Winter of the Wolf goes gold

While Battle Realms: Winter of the Wolf missed its expected release date in September, Ubi Soft has informed GameSpot that the game has gone gold and will ship soon. Winter of the Wolf is a stand-alone expansion to Battle Realms, so it doesn't require that players own the original game. The expansion adds new structures, units, and heroes for each of Battle Realms' four clans. It will have 11 single-player campaigns and 30 multiplayer maps.

Battle Realms is a real-time strategy game with a unique setting that's inspired by martial-arts movies and anime. The game was developed by Liquid Entertainment, which was founded by the designer of Command & Conquer: Red Alert. For more details, check out our previous coverage of the game.
