Kalypso Media has announced a new partnership with Gamingo to bring the Patrician series to browsers. Patrician Online will be released in German before it is translated and available in English. We should still see this up and running sometime next year. The potential for Patrician Online to be an engrossing trade game and social platform is great, and this is certainly a smart move on Kalypso's part.
