Mount & Blade: Bannerlord 2 revealed at E3 but gamers are going nuts over this one detail
It was one of the most popular games on the line-up at this evening's PC Gaming Show... but fans got VERY heated during the trailer reveal
GAMING fans went into a total meltdown this evening during the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this evening.
Several had been patiently waiting to hear about the McLovin’-style medieval role play title, Mount & Blade: Bannerlord 2.
After a good half-hour into the conference, they were shown trailers of new game-play filled with blood, guts and gore during combat.
But the release date was nowhere to be seen.
Despite waiting an entire YEAR for an update, TaleWorld had nothing more but some specs and teasers of what’s to come – with no word on when it will become available.

What's new to Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord?
- Advanced Formations – Merge and split forces at your behest, with intuitive but powerful control over the movement, form and behavior of every unit! Order heavy infantry to hold together, shoulder-to-shoulder in a slowly advancing but near impenetrable shield wall; or launch your cavalry in lightning charges using the skein formation.
- Battlefield AI – AI commanders can execute complex tactics, utilizing the advanced formation options to present a formidable challenge. Their behavior is drawn from actual historical tacticians, for example Alexander the great, who used his superior cavalry forces to rout their counterparts in the opposing army, before delivering a crushing blow to the enemy’s main force. This not only creates the feeling of an authentic medieval battle but also proves effective in-game, as in reality.
- Sergeant System – Commanders now designate units to other lords in battle, including the player! Execute the orders issued by your commander throughout the fight, and use your own instincts to do your part and help secure victory on the field of battle. Lead the horse archers as they skirmish and harass the enemy to disrupt their lines before your allies finish them off, or take control of the cavalry and charge into the fray to devastate entire units at once!
