![]() Stoic has said they haven’t talked about this new aspect of leveling up as much as some might have hoped, considering they’re still figuring out exactly how it will work. Managing the caravan traveling the countryside has also changed. Renown is still used for leveling up various characters throughout the game and there are said to be some new skills that can be assigned to various characters. Stoic has said that there is still no permadeath for the characters in Banner Saga 2, so these tactics make the battle harder but will not rob players of the main characters. Having players now come from off the main board is a big change from the previous version of the game. Banner Saga games don’t include a “Fog of War” feature, so players can see exactly where all the enemies are on the board. This will call for more strategic decisions when it comes to where players move their forces on the battlefield grid. There are said to be new enemies including support units and four-legged creatures with new abilities that can actually come from off screen in the heat of a battle. As in the other game, there are said to be choices based on whether or not you will go into combat or try and go around an area that has seen the Dredge attack or get near. Sometimes the choices are who you want to take into battle and other times it’s about deciding when your party is going to break camp. On top of that combat style, there is a separate “Choose Your Own Adventure” laid on top. This means the basic game play is a mix of turn-based and grid-based combat. ![]() ![]() The basic aspects of Banner Saga 2 gameplay will be similar to what we saw in Banner Saga. The Dredge aren’t the only threat players will face though how the new races of heroes and enemies fit into the story has not yet been laid out by the developers. Players will again be trying to lead a party of adventurers from one spot to another while fighting off vicious enemies. Just how the story is supposed to unfold hasn’t been laid out but there is also talk of a third Banner Saga so this will likely feed into that story. The land is said to be a bit darker as the Dredge have become even more of a dangerous force both for the Varl and the humans that are living in this mythical world. The story of Banner Saga 2 picks up where the first Banner Saga left off. We will update everyone on its launch date when the timing is right.” Story Customers who have attended Gamescom and PAX have seen its progress.
