I’m a Freya so.
The band of Vikings trapped in 21st-century Texas known as Stoic Studio revealed the existence of a Banner Saga sequel over the weekend at The Game Awards. I’m afraid I missed those –I was booked into the Post-Holiday Detox and Primal Ululation Therapy Centre high atop Mount Hexmap– but PG‘s Priestman clearly did not. The enterprising lad got on the horn to Texas right quick to inquire if the fantasy tactical game would make its way to mobile as its predecessor did this year.
“I can tell you that we ARE planning on bringing The Banner Saga 2 to mobile,” Stoic artist Arnie Jorgensen told Priestman yesterday.
The Banner Saga is an unusually story-driven turn-based squad tactical game with a uniquely beautiful hand-drawn visual aesthetic that’s pulling pints from the same tap as Don Bluth. The game got a very solid 4 out of 5 from new guy Alex Connolly back in October. I’ll happily take another one of those, and judging from the exclusive screenshots Gamespot ran yesterday, it doesn’t look as though Stoic is going to mess with that art formula too much.
After the jump, watch the announcement trailer from The Game Awards — there’s even a bit of wan cheering from the audience after the jump, who were probably expecting to see a Metal Gear 6 trailer or something.
