So "Gamestar" was paying Taleworlds a visit lately and found out some information about it
Resonant already did two vids about the new infos
gamestar also wrote an article cause they were asking about the release date
http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/mount-blade-2-bannerlord/news/mount_blade_2,47357,3314109.htmlTalewords regrets it that they announced the game in 2012, they didn´t expect the development to take that long. They were restructuring the game a couple of times on the way and implemented/threw away ideas during that time, that´s why it took them so long.
Their officially planned release year is 2017, Gamestar is pretty sure that they´ll stick to 2017 since the game already looked pretty finished when they played it (so it´s 2017, and if they run into issues, 2018 at max).
I´m pretty sure that they´re going to do some big release at the upcoming E3
