BALTIMORE, MD – March 23, in the year of our Lord
2016 – Stoic, an independent game development company,
and Versus Evil, one of the leading independent video game
publishers, today announced that Banner Saga 2 for PC will
launch on Tuesday 19th April, 2016. Banner Saga 2 is the
exciting sequel to The Banner Saga, an epic Viking role-playing
strategy game where a player's choice directly affects their
personal journey. The console versions of the game are set to
launch this summer.
The team also revealed their plans for a showcase at PAX East in
Boston which runs from 22-24th April, 2016 to celebrate Banner
Saga 2’s launch week. The showcase, which is being sponsored by
partners AMD and Razer, has been designed to give attendees an
inside look into the Banner Saga universe and will take place
over the full three days of the event. Fans will be able to play
the newly released game on Versus Evil booth #10081 in the main
hall.
Spearheading the activity is a Banner Saga panel which will take
place on Saturday 23rd April from 10:30am – 11:30am in the
Albatross Theatre. The panel, which will be moderated by YouTube
gaming personality Jesse Cox, will include development team
members Arnie Jorgensen (Art Director), John Watson (Technical
Director), Drew McGee (Writer) and Matt Rhoades (Tech Designer)
as well as composer Austin Wintory. The panelists will discuss
the Banner Saga universe and also tease some of the great things
that gamers can expect to experience in the newly released
Banner Saga 2. The team will also show off the worldwide premier
of the Banner Saga “In Memoriam” trailer created by Penny Arcade
contributor Kris Straub. Finally, the first 100 panel attendees
will receive a limited edition Banner Saga 2 t-shirt.
Fans will also be able to get a limited run paperback copy of
the book “The Gift of Hadrborg” by James Fadeley, a book that
has further expanded the Banner Saga universe and which serves
as a prelude to the video game story. Fadeley will also be by
the photo booth on Saturday morning to sign copies.
