The Viking sim sequel Banner Saga 2 was delayed in late 2015 to sometime in the first quarter of 2016. It’s not actually going to make that promised launch window, however, it’ll be close enough that you probably won’t mind. Developer Stoic announced today that it will be out on April 19.
The Banner Saga 2 will follow closely behind the story told in the original, and decisions made in that game will have an impact on how the sequel begins. It will feature new characters, races, enemies, and allies, and also an improved combat system with greater enemy variety, different victory scenarios, improved battle boards, and better storytelling during battles.
The regular price will be slightly cheaper than the original Banner Saga was at launch, however, coming in at $20, as opposed to the $25 dollar price tag on the first game.
Check out the Trailer:
“The long-awaited sequel to The Banner Saga, Stoic’s beloved role-playing game, is finally coming soon to PC and Mac. Although The Banner Saga 2 won’t be available for download until April 19th, pre-orders are openstarting today on Steam. Judging from screenshots, The Banner Saga 2 appears to have the same aesthetics as the original title, which isn’t a bad thing. We know what matters to you is having legendary Viking fights in 2D, but now you’ll have new characters and clans to choose from.”
