Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord and its expansion War Sails received a major update with new features and substantial changes.
The update is numbered 1.5 for Bannerlord and 1.3 for War Sails.
It’s available for PC, while consoles will get it at some point soon, after the platform holders certify the patch. It shouldn’t be too long, but we don’t have a release date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Notable changes include the ability to moor your ships and plenty of new naval options, including seafaring-specific random events.
That being said, there are new features and options if you don’t have the War Sails expansion, including new starting options and campaign modifiers.
We also got new battle maps, on top of dynamic battle sites and wrecks that you can loot to earn riches and find some stranded men whom you can recruit.
Personality traits have also been reworked, and more.
Below, you can read a quick recap of the new features and changes, while you can find the full patch notes on the official site.
If you’re unfamiliar with Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, it’s a sandbox RPG mixing strategy, management, and first-person combat in delightful ways.
The War Sails expansion added a whole new layer of gameplay with naval warfare. They’re both available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 at the same time.
It’s worth mentioning that the expansion also brought a whole new faction, the Viking-inspired Nords. The map changed rather considerably to accommodate the new naval gameplay
