Here are some things you really want to know if you plan on playing Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord.


4) Why will fans love it?

 
A pretty blend of old and new.

Bannerlord promises to take the formula of the series: the RPG elements, the large-scale warfare, and the vast, open world, and to revamp it in tons of new ways. The core gameplay remains the same, but some of the mechanics have been modernized and streamlined. More meat is being added to the game's bones.

TaleWorlds Entertainment has reached out to the creators of tons of different mods for Mount and Blade and Warband and will be incorporating features of the most popular ones into the new game.

For example, Diplomacy, a super popular mod adding new political systems into the game, has been adopted by the developers. They plan to implement a large amount of the mod's features into the base game in Bannerlord, showing how hard they're trying to both improve the game and listen to the community; something more game developers should do!

The developers have worked on all sorts of ways to keep fans updated on the game's development, from blogs and YouTube videos to appearances at conventions and trade shows. Say what you will about Bannerlord, but something we can all see is that it's going to be a love letter to fans of the series.
