Fishtank Interactive have released their monthly newsletter. Here is the updates for Arx Fatalis:

The sales version of Arx Fatalis is multi-lingual and includes the complete English, French and German localisation. The originally planned multiplayer mode was already deleted some time ago.

The trilingual Arx Fatalis homepage is now really online at www.arxfatalis-online.de.
