The Emperor Edition was originally slated for a November 2011 release but production was slower than expected. This January 2012 release date is fairly well set in stone!
From AEG:
Twenty-five years after the conclusion of the Destroyer War, the Emerald Empire of Rokugan is much changed. The devastation from a generation of wars left the Empire in need of resources, and so the Empress gave the command to push forward into the ruined Ivory Kingdoms, now the Colonies, for that which Rokugan needed. Now, 25 years later, the Great Clans chafe at decades of peace and squabble with one another over issues of power and prestige. In the Colonies, they have the opportunity to face one another over resources and secrets long forgotten, even as the Empire faces a mysterious enemy in the Dark Naga and his forces. It is a time of competition, a time of confusion, and a time of conquest! The Age of Conquest has begun, and rewards await the bold. Seize new lands for your Clan and get started on the path of legends!
Elliott and I have been promised that 2012 will be a big year at AEG and even bigger for L5R! Are you ready to take up the challenge emperor Edition provides?
