In May, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord’s War Sails content was delayed as more time was needed to develop and refine features. Today, the wait for War Sails is over, with TaleWorlds confirming that the fresh content will be available on November 26 on PC and consoles. To celebrate the announcement, a fresh 15-minute gameplay trailer was released.
The presentation shows the gameplay of the Southern Empire taking part in the battle against the Aserai in the waters that both claim as theirs. Full features of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord War Sails include:
- EXPLORE THE NORDS: Chart your course to the Northern Kingdom, home of the Dauntless
Nords. Trade, recruit or fight in a land of jagged peaks and icy fjords. Will you join
North, or take their riches? - MASTER NAVAL WARFARE: War Sails is a war game inspired by the Middle Ages
battles. Master the physics of wind and water, board ships or rams, cripple your enemies by smashing them
oars, sinking hulls or torn sails. - EXPLORE EXPANDED MAP: Calradia expands into a naval war with the north
seas, islands, rivers and open waters. Swim past barriers, resupply and fight enemies

ground. Supply armies, sink enemies and blockade cities. But be careful – storms and
Exhaustion can ruin even the best-laid plans. - EXPAND YOUR ARSENAL: Collect fresh companions, Nordic banners, hairstyles,
tattoos and armor. Develop your naval skills, create unique weapons and wield fresh ones
spears, swords and axes to rule over land and sea. - LIVING, EVOLVING WORLD: Naval systems and Nord faction integrate
The world of Bannerlord, transforming trade, war and diplomacy.
In our review of Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, Jim said: “My return to Calradia hasn’t been a very cheerful one, although Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord is a game I’ll probably stick with, simply due to my love of the original. The wealth of fresh systems and activities make this sandbox strategy simulation feel more alive than ever, although the diligence required to get anywhere can seem tiring. Overall, existing fans will be delighted, while fresh players may look on without a clue as to what all the fuss is about confusion.
