Despite happy promises that both the PC and console versions of Lionhead's fantasy roleplayer would be released simultaneously, Microsoft have now announced that the former will be released at a later date to allow time for "building experiences optimized for each platform". The release date of October 26 still applies to the Xbox 360 version of the title.
"We aren't announcing a ship date for the PC sku at this time," they told IGN, "but expect news soon."
Meanwhile, Lionhead's heavily targeted Villager Maker is allowing players to design their own villager ahead of the game's release, to be added to the games of those who fork out for a pre-order.
