Electronic Arts and Lionhead Studios announced that Black and White 2 has shipped to retail outlets and has an MSRP of $49.99. Black and White 2 features new Epic Miracles, including the ground-ripping Earthquake and volcanoes, which cause rivers of lava; new forms of weaponry, from swords to bows to siege machines; multiple tools to help train and improve Creatures (old favorites as the Ape, Cow, and Lion, plus many others); weather systems such as rain, snow, mists, and fog; ten lands homing each of the five tribes. The official website states that a patch will be released on 6th October (thanks: Dan).
