The Banner Saga 3 gets a July release date

Developer Stoic Studio has revealed that The Banner Saga 3, the final instalment in its critically acclaimed Viking series, will launch digitally on PC, Mac, Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on July 24th, with the latter two consoles also receiving a physical trilogy bundle.

The first Banner Saga released back in 2014, and its distinct blend of narrative-heavy role-playing and turn-based strategy, not to mention its striking visual style, quickly garnered praise.

Stoic's third and final series entry was, like the original game, borne from a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising more than twice its original $200,000 USD target. The studio initially anticipated that The Banner Saga 3 would launch in December 2018, but revealed that development was considerably ahead of schedule in an update earlier this year.
