"New Bradley Game"
This just appeared on OGR.COM. This is the entire "article"

Activision announced today that it will be bringing D.W. Bradley's first-person fantasy RPG, Wizards & Warriors, to the PC this fall. The
game, created by Bradley and developed by Heuristic Park, (whose credits include the classic games Wizardy V, VI and VII) takes players on a quest through the mythical realm of Gael Serran. Originally called Swords and Sorcery, the game boasts more than 120 hours of gameplay.

In Wizards & Warriors players must take control of a party of six adventurers in a quest to defeat the evil Lord Cet. To accomplish their goal,
players must find the legendary Mavin Sword, a blade forged of twin metals, one cursed by evil, the other blessed by the divine, which is the only
weapon powerful enough to defeat Lord Cet.

Estimated system requirements for the game include a Pentium 233, with 64 MB of RAM. Wizards & Warriors will also support 3D acceleration
through Direct 3D.

The Heuristic Park web page has mostly the same info with different pictures.

We will in a forseable length of time find out if it is Wizardry and Sirtech or D.W. Bradley that made Wiz 6 and 7.

Also, like Rick says...6-9 months after a publisher is announced...

Feb. 1 plus 9 months = Nov. 1 ... Wow, isn't that...like...Fall?

3. "What??? You doubted me? :)"
Actually, I usually say "at least 3-6 months", which translated into reality means "hopefully 6-9 months". I didn't come up with that number/figure/time frame, it was Alz - who frequents the HP Board. But, after I thought abou t it, it pretty much made sense. You figure at the point they are at (and hopefully W8 is about there too) that the game is done (minus minor last minute bug fixes - test test test). The installation procedures, documentation/manuals and hints/cheat guides are probably not, or at least not in final form, with the graphics, new titles, credits, publisher's name. Then there is coming up with the advertising campaign, letting it sink in, generating interest. All this after ALL of the contracts are signed, agreed upon, .....

I figure 6-9 months is a fairly conservative estimate. But, I'd bet a dollar that it will be under my XMAS tree this year
