The Banner Saga 3 Gameplay

The banner saga 3 : eternal arena

The Banner Saga 3 is a tactical role-playingvideo game developed by Stoic Studio. It is the final installment in a trilogy of games that began with The Banner Saga (2014) and The Banner Saga 2 (2016).

Gameplay[edit]

The Banner Saga 3 is a tactical role-playingvideo game featuring turn-based combat.[1] The themes of the game are inspired by Viking culture.[2]

Development and release[edit]

Something important to note is The Banner Saga 3 is a very decision heavy game. There are choices you made all the way back in The Banner Saga 1 that have a huge impact on how some events in the story play out. As such, it is possible I do not have the exact same scenario you do at certain events.

Saga

The Banner Saga 3 was developed by Stoic, a studio founded by former BioWare employees.[1] Following the release of 2016's The Banner Saga 2, Stoic expressed interest in creating a third instalment, noting that the fictional universe they created had plenty more storytelling opportunities.[3] Speaking at the 2016 NASSCOM Game Developer Conference, Stoic co-founder John Watson, re-iterated their intention to complete The Banner Saga trilogy of games. He estimated the budget required would be $2M, and said that they had considered external funding.[4]

In January 2017, The Banner Saga 3 was announced with the launch of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The goal of $200,000 was achieved in less than a week, and the campaign concluded in March with $416,986 raised towards the game's development.[5][6] While the majority of the funding would still come from Stoic themselves, Watson said that the Kickstarter campaign would also create a community of enthusiastic testers.[7]

The game was published by Versus Evil and was released on Windows and macOS.[2]
