Whereas combat and direct interactions take place in real-time from a third-person perspective, you’ll make all of your tactical and strategic decisions from the world map. To do so, you’ll have to accumulate followers, party members, and troop garrisons to aid in your quest for Calradian domination. You can align yourself with different empires and attempt to expand their war effort by seizing land from enemy factions. That means the game takes the natural scarcity of resources into account which will affect the pricing of goods.
You can even play as a travelling merchant if you like thanks to the working Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord economy system. In essence, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is all about making your own way in a fluid and reactive medieval sandbox. That will all play out without many surprises: the world map with its simplified strategic overview of Calradia is returning, the excellent directional swordplay of the original is back, and there also appears to be an equal emphasis on reputation and morale.
You’ll still lead a group of followers around a medieval sandbox, fighting bandits, fulfilling the wishes of nobles and trying to make a name for yourself by unifying warring factions and bring peace to Calradia.
The good news for fans of the original Mount & Blade is TaleWorlds Entertainment look to be keeping the open-ended sandbox gameplay intact. In the interest of sorting out all the details for you, here’s our rundown of everything we know about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. It looks the part too, which you’d expect for a game that’s due out over a decade after the original. However, there’s plenty of scope for rampant anticipation from the small glimpses we have had of the game, showing off everything from mounted combat to full-scale castle sieges, and even some of the game’s strategic elements like taking over caravan routes. Of course, you can ignore that overarching goal entirely and live the life of a lone adventurer, eschewing the orders of your lord or king in favour of forming your own war party.Īstoundingly, after seven years in development, TaleWorlds Entertainment has managed to keep a lot of information about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord under wraps. Set 200 years before the first game, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord plonks you in the boots of an ordinary medieval man and asks you to unify the lands of Calradia by any means necessary.
Still waiting on some bright spark to make a good Game of Thrones game? It might not be out yet, but upcoming medieval RPG Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord looks set to provide that experience, save for all the dragons and zombies.
