This is a world English language rights deal. It may be there will be only one version, say US English, available in both markets, but that was what happened originally with Magician in print, when Granada simply bought copies of plates for the UK edition--one British reviewer complained about the "American spelling." Or they may localize from existing texts they already have. I will let you know details when I have them.
