MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD Will Unfurl “War Sails” The Naval Expansion On November 26th!

TaleWorlds premieres a 15-minute gameplay showcase for War Sails, offering the first in-depth look at naval warfare - from tactical deployment to ramming, boarding, and full-scale sea battles.

ANKARA, Turkey (October 30, 2025) — Today, TaleWorlds Entertainment has premiered the first gameplay showcase for War Sails – the highly anticipated naval expansion for the best-selling strategy RPG MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD - and confirmed that it will launch simultaneously on PC and consoles on November 26th at 00:00 PST / 03:00 EST / 09:00 CET. The showcase presents an intense coastal battle along the Aserai shores, as the Southern Empire fleet clashes with Aserai forces across contested waters. Both sides command diverse ship classes and employ new weapons, tactics, and naval tools amid dynamic weather and atmospheric conditions.
The new War Sails expansion will release for $24.99 USD / €24.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GoG, alongside a major free update to the base game.



A Custom Naval Battles mode allows players to instantly create and command fleet engagements on River, Coastal, or Open Sea maps - perfect for testing tactics, experimenting with ship setups, or jumping straight into action without campaign progression.

ABOUT MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord combines action, RPG, and strategy in a sandbox world where every player creates its own story in the fictitious continent of Calradia. This follow-up, prequel to Warband, takes place 200 years before the Calradia we know from previous games. The Calradian Empire is on the verge of collapse, and several factions fight to control the remains of the old empire that once dominated the entire continent. In front of them, other factions try to take advantage of the chaotic situation to gain power. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord was released on Early Access on March 30th, 2020, and since then has gathered universal acclaim by players and reviewers alike for its deep gameplay and engaging sandbox experience, having received numerous updates with new gameplay features over the course of these months. Bannerlord is a sequel to the acclaimed Mount & Blade: Warband, one of the most successful and influential RPGs of the last few years (and considered by media outlets such as PC Gamer as one of the best PC games ever released).
