We have not disclosed a release date so far because it does not exist. We don’t work like that. We are not a company who sets a timeline to release a product and then works to meet that deadline. We are TaleWorlds Entertainment: we create games because we love making them, and we want them to be the best games that we can possibly make. We think that our fans don’t deserve less than our best efforts, our total commitment. We don’t believe in releasing a game before it is ready just because we might miss the hype.
“But all these companies give a release date – why don’t you?” We respect every approach, of course; we are not saying that if a company announces a release date then they are not trying their best to develop a great game. It’s just that every company has a different philosophy and a different set of circumstances. For example, some companies have publishers, shareholders, investors and owners who press for a release date, even if it means cutting content from a game.
We are not in that situation, and creating the best game we possibly can is the most important thing to us. With that in mind, why limit ourselves with a release date if no one is pushing us to do so? And how would setting a date and then pushing it back further and further be better than not giving a date we are not sure about?
Because real devs have publishers who don't like their money being fucked around.

The best game they could possibly make is Mount and Blade games, in which the biggest positive is how mod friendly it is because vainilla fucking sucks? Ok then.
Jaxson Hill
Will this come out before Overgrowth?
Adrian Parker
Mountain blade flag captain will be an august 2018 release. Screen cap this post.

Nice. Too bad it will be a consolised game regardless.

How does their Community Manager get away with this?
Ryder Roberts
Fire & Sword was a mod Paradox decided to buy out and shit for a quick buck like all the other Warband DLC. Is Bannerlord even going to be published by Paradox this time? I sure hope not.
Jackson Richardson
It worked for 3D Realms, right? Oh wait...
Wyatt Morris
I don't think the devs behind Bannerlord are constantly scraping the game and starting all over again whenever a new gimmick that's kinda popular comes out.
Carson Morris
>Based T*rks >Based >T*rks
Elijah Hall
desu I'd rather have a date that's constantly being pushed back instead of just being left in the dark
Jayden Ward
>falling for this blunder
They have no release date because they realized that Bannerlord is literally Warband, but with a graphical overhaul. Now they are trying to add actual new features and are stuck in development hell.
Liam Rodriguez
Bannerlords should be pulled off from steam. Enough of this bullshit.
Connor Morris
Bannerlord has had more features since the very fist gameplay showing
Landon Williams
Actually it was. Read up on this. Your post is ultra ironic.
Jordan Ramirez
Give me a source and I will.

That's not a source that's a search engine. Either give me a source or get sucked off like the fag you are.

Daniel Gonzalez
Fire and Sword was LITERALLY a mod that Parajew bought rights to and published as paid product, Taleworlds had nothing to do with it. I bet you think the Napoleon and Viking DLCs for Warband are also official products and not paid mods huh?
Ian Cox
>justifying your love for Japanese games on an anonymous Japanese sushi rolling board
It's okay to like Japanese games more than Western games, we won't tell anyone.
Andrew Davis
sure also do you want them to replace with BETHESDA PRESENTS "FALLOUT4 buy again edition"?
Evan Anderson
??? How are Slavs not European?
Carter Harris
lol
Hudson Thomas
Slavs are definitely European. Even kebabs can be considered very close to us, as the Middle East laid the foundations that the Greeks used to create the West.
Thomas Moore
No, I want to have a release day. Games are put on steam to get sold, not stay in eternal development comatosis. If it's not being released for few years then they should fuck off from steam.
Ethan Johnson
user pls keep those reasonable opinions for yourself or else you might awake the Sup Forums

I just dont like people denying history. They are right about nignogs achieving nothing, but we must not deny that Egypt and the Middle East are our forefathers of sorts.

Have you seen pc gaming E3 footage? Lmao its fucking awful, blurry, horrible fps drops. Game is not even close to being finished.
Dominic Sanchez
it's way better like this, even many triple a games release in an early access state while charging full price, it's getting pretty bad. Just look at Andromeda, FFXV or SFV

Sounds alot like the shit Star Citizen fans get fed.
Ian Campbell
holy shit a honest developer telling it like it is without bullshitting their audience? what timeline is this?
Liam Rodriguez
that means they don't care about marketing cycles and would be happy to release the game in January or May
Lucas Scott
except people didn't donate them hundreds of millions of dollars, so they have no incentive to "bullshit" like those hack frauds
Jordan Gonzalez
Nah man. This isn't obvious pr damage control, but a heart to heart from the developers. They just care too much.

yeah because you can keep a game in the oven for years and years without running into founding problems i totally believe that...

>We have not disclosed a release date so far because it does not exist. We don’t work like that. We are not a company who sets a timeline to release a product and then works to meet that deadline. That's basically the same thing Star Citizen is doing.
Tyler Long
Having said all that, we understand that some of you might fear that we are abandoning the game or that we are stuck in development hell. We can assure you that that is not the case: we have of course made our share of mistakes and false starts which have added to development time, but not more than what could be expected from a project of this scale.
Why so many years then? Well, the main reason is the size of the game. Bannerlord has a huge sandbox campaign which contains a number of different features that players can experience and enjoy. This includes, but is not limited to: fief and kingdom management, a deep trading system, a diplomacy and relationship system, and epic battles with hundreds of on-screen combatants that the player can command. Then there’s the multiplayer aspect of the game, featuring a matchmaking system for the first time in the Mount & Blade series, which lets players test their combat and tactical skills against players from all over the world. We are also working on ways to support our fantastic modding community by making the game as highly moddable as possible. Five years is actually not that long for the development of a game which encompasses as much as Bannerlord does. There are a lot of fundamental tech and architecture changes compared to Warband: it’s more complex than just adding some new textures and animations. It involves the technology, such as the new engine we built from scratch, but also the system, the mechanics – this is about balancing the invisible, the look and feel of the gameplay.
This is why we have not announced a release date, and why we won’t do it at Gamescom either. And these are the reasons why we think
Julian Murphy
god bless having no publisher
Camden Wood
They are keeping the game hostage for when erdogan turns turkey into a totalitarian state so that they can defect to the west.
Jacob Perez
Star Citizen is taking millions from people by promising things that don't exist. Bannerlord is not being sold yet.
Josiah Turner
When you're not bound by a publisher's bullshit, you can do whatever you want instead of releasing broken ass games in an attempt to meet meme deadlines like 11.11.11.
Xavier Torres
kinda like valve huh.
Tyler Carter
how so valve doesn't make games
Tyler Bell
>Matchmaking God damn it. Will this cancer ever be stopped?
Dominic Torres
oh ho you missed their latest " game " annoucement then
Lincoln Edwards
At this point I'm just worried that it won't get out before it's stopped by officials of Edrogan's new caliphate for not being islamic
Juan Parker
That didn't stop CDPR from releasing a broken ass game in 2015 that had more bugs and glitches on release than meme game from 11.11.11.
Nicholas Myers
I don't see TaleWorlds sitting on a fatass pile of Steam transaction cuts, so unlike Valve they have every reason to keep making games.
Michael Campbell
Warband released in 2010. Valve released Portal 2 and dota 2 since then. Taleworlds has sold some fan mods.
Face it. Your turks are even flakier than Valve when it comes to making games.
Bentley Sanchez

James Cook
relax, there is nothing wrong with matchmaking
its not like they are removing server list or shit.
Cameron Thomas
>considering a card game a game
Dominic Garcia
I think so. I believe they released the Viking Expansion a couple years back before it was ready and it was pretty buggy. I believe it had negative reviews on steam for a couple months before they patched it
Joseph Morgan
>poker isnt a game
Jack Nelson
I've gone through so many phases of getting excited for Bannerlord to varying degrees and starting up new Warband campaigns that I hardly feel anything when I see stuff like this pop up.
I just want to play Bannerlord.
Jayden Diaz
>card game >a game of cards
Andrew Flores
Well I still can't fucking conquer the first game without being gang bang by sea raiders so I can wait.
Nicholas Jenkins
>mfw all the anons swallowing this with a smile
Are you guys for real? Release dates, deadlines, these are things that keep a workforce in check. They are pillars of integrity. I want bannerlord as much as every other faggot but come on. They are slapping their dicks on your faces and you are saying THANK YOU.
Ayden Perry
there's nothing you can do
Ian Lee
So they're delaying a game that is basically just Warband with a texture pack and minigames. TAKE MY MONEY
Ian Taylor
>They are slapping their dicks on your faces nothing wrong with this though
Kayden Rodriguez
There is no one to keep them in check. They can do whatever they want and this is what they choose to do.
Luke Sanders
This coming from the dev that released the incredibly buggy and unfinished original M&B?

So what mod is that, Floris? I haven't kept up with it.
