This update introduces a fresh chapter for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord as it embarks on a maritime journey with its new naval features. TaleWorlds Entertainment is expanding the game with a downloadable upgrade that transforms the way battles are fought.

Earlier this year, the studio revealed an ambitious expansion that significantly enhances the base game. This addition is not a mere cosmetic upgrade but a substantial evolution that lets players command ships and engage in large-scale naval battles. In a groundbreaking first for the series, the… battlefield now extends to the open seas.

The game’s world map has been completely revamped to allow immersive maritime gameplay. Players can also expect refined weather dynamics that add depth to naval encounters. A notable new presence in the game is a faction inspired by Viking culture, known for their mastery of seafaring combat.

The expansion boasts several standout features, including:

  • Command of formidable vessels during epic sea confrontations
  • Dramatic naval conflicts that reshape gameplay strategy
  • A dynamic environment influenced by changing weather conditions
  • A newly introduced faction celebrating seafaring tradition

This upgrade offers eager players a chance to explore a different style of warfare away from traditional land battles. Expected to be released in fall 2025, the expansion has been showcased in a trailer that highlights the new faction, complete with captivating soundtracks that enhance the epic atmosphere.
