Questions for the developer – New city of Bastion.

Well, they didn't abandon it; the cities will just appear in WOG 59, but its release is being delayed more and more.

Exactly. It's being delayed... I think we won't see it at all. :) And frankly, I don't need it. They're making a new, high-quality add-on for WOG; if anyone is interested, the link is in my signature.
