We are thrilled to officially announce Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, the sequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, is in development

Personally, I don't give a rats ass about Bannerlords MP unless they bring something really surprising. What I'm looking forward to is the SP and what improvements they made there.I'm telling you man, War of the Vikings wont live up to all the hype you have for it..
For MP I have... other... games in my scope for the near future :)
I wonder if they plan on having a beta similar to warband's...Hai Senni!
Interested in how this turns out :D.
Will be interesting to see what MB2 holds and where Melee : Battlegrounds gets to...
Could we go from having Warband being the only decent native melee combat game (with cRPG improving on that) to having TWO solid melee combat game choices???
Mind blown.
Or maybe the donkey crew really should make cRPG for Bonerlord and dominate the whole field :D. Yes it would bring more cash to TW, but it would be a moral victory for donkey & friends.

It's not that simple I think oKiN..It really is that simple. It would make no sense for M:BG developers to spend time making a mod for M&B2.
Then when M:BG launch they can just close down the M&B2 mod and take the players with them. :)Now that's not that simple...
Of all the things I want to see improved from Warband to Bannerlord, graphics are one of the least important. Nice to see some of the updated graphics (they're still pretty bad), but I care more about what's going to happen with the game play, especially in regards to single player.I think it's quite interesting that we actually see more than a teaser now. This is very interesting.
Wake me up when something interesting happens.
This screenshot gives me the hope that they made quivers and arrows two separate items.(click to show/hide)
Meh. Doesn't look that much better than Warband. It's like Warband+ with some pretty shaders on top. Still looks very similar to WB.
Yeah, they should have done something in the ancient world, or medieval Japan, or 18th century piracy,... So many other options.

Did you seriously miss all the times it's been pointed out that this is set in an earlier time period?
Who cares about graphics? Bring me some coop campaign!bless this man!!!!
All in all, those graphics don't stand out compared to M&BWB on highest graphics.
The biggest problem that I see immediately is they kept the awkward, disproportionate character models.
You can see a few odd looking NPCs in the background, but I assume those are just placeholders because in the most screens the characters(mainly the player) look vastly improved.https://dl.dropbox.com/s/je5qt5wd0r0n6ji/Bannerlord_01.jpg
That being said, they might still be a bit disproportionate, but they are definitely not the same character models as in Warband.
It's 13th century according to the screens.
I wasn't aware the Roman empire still existed in the 13th century.
No, the Germans don't count.
Either way, it would definitely be interesting to see some ancient roman, greek, macedonian or phrygian inspired factions.
They are bringing it to PS3 and Xbox360. That's rubbish.

Me thinks Xant just wants to stand out and try to pick out bad things in this WIP game. Even if they are made up.
Where did you get this from? Cannot find it anywhere.
About the roman look, the archer in the gate scene reminded me a lot of an auxiliary roman archer.

Scroll down and they'll be like 'GOOD NEWS WE ARE RELEASING IT TO CONSOLES'
Okin, where did you get that information about the setting from? I see some sort of legionnaire inspired dude and medieval arabs and a guy on a barded horse with a kettle helmet and a crossbow. I'm hella confused. Are they doing a Calradia Invasion sort of thing where the old factions get invaded by some Roman-ish faction?
The once-mighty Calradic Empire is in a state of decline. Warlike tribes have seized swaths of its territory. Client kingdoms have declared their independence. The Emperor has died without leaving an heir, leaving three jealous factions to scramble for power. Mercenary companies, bandit lords and nomads hover on the sidelines like vultures waiting for a meal.
A hero who can master the art of single combat, of leading armies in battle, of plotting ambushes and raids, and of exploiting the rivalries of noble houses and tribal clans may be able to unite this Empire -- or, alternately, to deal it the final blow that sends it crashing down. Will Calradia experience one final sunset of imperial glory, or slip into a night of chaos before a new age dawns?
Did you miss the pot helmets and high medieval armor?
As i understand it, Ye ole Calradian Empire is roman-like and this would be sort of a fall of roman empire-like setting?
Im sorta hoping that the system requirements wont be very high. Not because of me but other people. The game isnt a lot of peoples cup of tea already and getting 200 player battles without everyones PCs preformance crashing and burning is hard. I dont get what the fuck where the people who said "Warbands minus is its graphics" smoking. Cause you dont get awesome giant meleegame playerbattles with HD Crysis graphics. You get em with crappy graphics.
It's called making trade-offs (cutting down on graphics, dynamic physics, etc...).Its a good trade-off imo. Graphics is really a small price to pay for better gameplay.
I'd rather have the option of downgrading my graphics rather than being forced bad graphics just for the sake of everyone being able to run it at full FPS....not to mention that ARMA 3 is really well coded or so it seems cuz it's even running on older machines very smooth with "high" settings :wink:
ArmA3 does it rather well, on ultra and everything at max the game looks stunning and realistic, but if you don't have the machine for that it also gives you the option of downgrading the graphics tremendously, netting you full FPS.

It's beyond the point either way. Arma 3 sucked in alpha/beta stage when it came to optimization, but it's great right now. "High" (with textures on Very High, of course) looks great and runs great. Ultra looks really good. And a crappy machine can run it on low. So that's something games like M&B2 could and should aim for.
Nah, ive played Warband in 55 FPS for an extensive period of time and its simply awful.
id still like to point out that ARMA is still a shooterthingy and M&B is melee.
This series was never perfectly historically accurate, and one its chief issues in that regard was the way it mashed together equipment and cultures separated by several centuries. That doesn't change the fact that the setting is obviously undergoing a backward shift in time with this game.
Well its a good job there are great modders out there who I am sure we can depend on making more historically accurate versions :D
but surely even people who know nothing about history would find it jarring to have roman looking gear along side clearly late medieval gear shown in these new screenshots. so I don't get what taleworlds are doing at all.
Haters gonna hate.
It's Calradia guys not some Total War game. Who gives a shit about historical accuracy when it comes to M&B.
Does Bannerlord's devs expect to be historically accurate anyway?
I think 'chronological unrealism' is one reason why these games get so overlooked by gamers.
You're joking, right?
What mostly bugs me is the hair fashion. You can clearly see that the depicted hairdos are way off based on a chronological standpoint. In one screenshot, you can see a dude sporting hair fashion from the early dark age right next to a woman having her hair braided like it was first done in the late 16th century.Hair isnt an issue aslong they arent from the 80s. Would hate having archers looking like tina turner all around.
Also, dat barrel texture.
I will mostly be looking forward to some nice depth effects. The screenshot showing an archer from behind kind of gives a sense of depth but not enough to judge. We will wait and see I guess.

In the video that TaleWorlds showed us about Bannerlord, we did see a detailed character screen and a skill tree.
I'm not sure what to think of this
Is it going to be full roam open world or another macro-map sequel?
The latter most probably.Well I hope someone makes a mod, that lets you roam the world on foot even if you hve to press F every time you get to the end of a scene.

A Persistent World mod called ''Heskey's Island''?
