ABOUT MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord combines action, RPG, and strategy in a sandbox world where every player creates its own story in the fictitious continent of Calradia. This follow-up, prequel to Warband, takes place 200 years before the Calradia we know from previous games. The Calradian Empire is on the verge of collapse, and several factions fight to control the remains of the old empire that once dominated the entire continent. In front of them, other factions try to take advantage of the chaotic situation to gain power. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord was released on Early Access on March 30th, 2020, and since then has gathered universal acclaim by players and reviewers alike for its deep gameplay and engaging sandbox experience, having received numerous updates with new gameplay features over the course of these months. Bannerlord is a sequel to the acclaimed Mount & Blade: Warband, one of the most successful and influential RPGs of the last few years (and considered by media outlets such as PC Gamer as one of the best PC games ever released).
