The free prologue for highly anticipated Ultima-like SKALD: Against the Black Priory was updated a couple of times after its release in June. However, creator Anders Lauridsen felt that the game needed more work and delayed its planned Early Access release indefinitely the following month. It turns out that like a number of other recent crowdfunded titles, SKALD will be forgoing Early Access entirely thanks to a publishing deal announced by Anders last month. Today it was revealed that the publisher in question is Raw Fury, the Swedish indie publisher behind games such as Kathy Rain and Star Renegades. Here's the new trailer they put together:


Thanks to this partnership, Anders will now be able to work on SKALD full-time until its release sometime next year. I'm sure it'll end up better than Mechajammer did!
