War Sails, [[link]] the Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord expansion announced in March, has been delayed. Instead of launching on June 17 as planned, developer TaleWorlds Entertainment says it's now on track for release in early fall.
"After taking a hard look at where things stand, it became clear we won’t be ready by the originally planned release date of [[link]] June 17th," the studio wrote in an update. "The title is currently on track for an early Fall 2025 release window.
- The new Nords faction, and their home, the Northern Kingdom
- Naval warfare, complete with wind and water physics, boarding, ramming and all sorts of ship-themed mayhem
- 18 ships with distinct handling, which can be upgraded with new sails, rams, siege engines and cosmetic flourishes
- Traversable rivers
- New companions, banners, tattoos, hairstyles, weapons and skills
- A larger map with the northern sea, islands and rivers
That's all coming alongside a planned free update adding new features including stealth and disguises, new random events, weapon types, a parley mechanic, and more. It's a lot.
TaleWorlds said it's now working on a "revised timeline" for the expansion, and hopes to have a new release date ready to announce "in the upcoming weeks."
