Stoic Studio has announced in a Facebook post that The Banner Saga 2, the sequel to the original Kickstarter-funded cel-animated strategy-RPG, will be delayed into next year.
According to the developer, ”Banner Saga 2’s development is progressing nicely. Customers who have attended Gamescom and PAX have seen its progress. We will update everyone on its launch date when the timing is right.”
The delay is due to the time being taken to do the console ports. ”The delays in the console is mainly game development fun, but we have also spent time working on console specific controls to make it perform as a console game, more than just a port,” promised Stoic Studio.
The original The Banner Saga was originally crowdfunded on Kickstarter back in April 2012 by Stoic Studio, which was founded by two former developers from Star Wars: The Old Republic and an artist from DC Comics. It earned a respectable 7.5/10 score in GameWatcher’s review.
