Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a medieval action RPG and strategy game developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment. Set in the fictional land of Calradia, it takes place roughly 200 years before Mount & Blade: Warband and follows the collapse of the Calradic Empire. Players create their own character, recruit troops and travel between towns, castles and villages while building wealth, reputation and military strength. Battles can be fought directly from horseback or on foot, with players commanding large groups of infantry, archers and cavalry. Beyond combat, Bannerlord includes trading, diplomacy, clan management, politics and siege warfare. Players can serve existing kingdoms, become mercenaries, establish businesses or eventually create their own faction, giving the campaign a highly open-ended structure.
