After about seven years since the initial announcement, TaleWorlds Entertainment's Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has finally announced its launching on Steam this very month! The Early Access makes up for quite the amount of delays, but since the game is seemed to launch on Monday, Mar. 30, it saves gamers one day of waiting for its initial release date on Tuesday, Mar. 31.
Social distancing has not affected TaleWorlds Entertainment
Due to extreme protective measures as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) growing, TaleWorlds Entertainment had to switch to remote working for their employees a while ago, but an announcement was given to show a cheerful spirit!
According to the announcement, "Thanks to the great effort of the whole team, and hearing the requests of our community to release the game as soon as possible, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will release in Early Access a day before."
The game will also be discounted by a whopping 10 percent for the first two weeks of its release, while owners can avail of the previous game with another 10 percent discount! TaleWorlds has acknowledged the financial effect the coronavirus (COVID-19) has on most gamers, and that is why they are giving out their games on a discount.
Feel free to choose your own battles
Players will get to play custom battles aside from the campaigns! These campaigns include just about everything that a player would need from new kingdom management systems to other new additions.
A precautionary warning is included that certain bugs may still exist while playing the game in its early stages. These different balance issues and missing features usually occur during in-development games and are something to be expected.
The multiplayer beta mode has been in development for a while, and that will still continue, but for now, gamers are able to test four different modes, which include sieges as well as the Captain mode. This will go hand in hand with different singleplayer modes so that players will be able to explore the new features and modes through the Early Access phase.
Taleworlds Entertainment gives a warning to gamers
In an announcement given by TaleWorlds, "If you would like to experience everything that Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has to offer, then we strongly encourage you to hold off on buying the game until the full-release," which cautions players that the game is technically not yet finished.
The new Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord offers an interesting new look at historical warfare with interesting strategy methodologies that keep players up to their wits while playing. Despite the long follow up, the game still earned a decent amount of fans when it initially released due to its stellar gameplay and interesting concept.
The full version of the game is not yet announced, but fans might have to extend their patience since most of the programming and developing work is now done at home.
