Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is an open-world medieval RPG, strategy, and combat simulation game developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment, released in 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Set in the fictional continent of Calradia during a period of imperial collapse and rising rival kingdoms, it serves as a prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, taking place 200 years before that game's events. Players create and develop a customizable character, then pursue power through a combination of large-scale battlefield combat, political maneuvering, trade, weapon crafting, and territorial management. Real-time battles support both first- and third-person perspectives, built around a directional skill-based combat system. Beyond the single-player sandbox, the game includes multiplayer PvP modes with ranked matchmaking, dedicated server support, and an official modding kit with Steam Workshop integration for community-created content.
The horns sound, the ravens gather. An empire is torn by civil war. Beyond its borders, new kingdoms rise. Gird on your sword, don your armour, summon your followers and ride forth to win glory on the battlefields of Calradia. Establish your hegemony and create a new world out of the ashes of the old.
