![]() We left off on some treachery just as they were scrambling to get inside the walls to survive. John Watson: At the end of the second game, a lot of the heroes including Rook or Alette, the centaur-like Horseborn, and the giant humanoid Varl, as well as refugees from across the land have fled to the walled city of Arberrang at the edge of the continent trying to escape a Darkness that is spreading across the land. What’s the baseline for where we find ourselves heading into the conclusion? What’s ahead of them at this point? They’ve dealt with murderous Dredge, Horseborn, betrayal, bizarre magic, and everything the rotting world could throw at them it seems. GameWatcher: So this caravan has been on the road in a world that slowly falling apart for some time. Stoic Co-Founder and Technical Director John Watson was kind enough to heed our call and talk about Banner Saga 3’s story, new features, and the future of the franchise. With that in mind, we reached out to the developer Stoic to talk about what we can look forward to in this final harrowing adventure for the heroes. It promises to bring our time with characters like Alette, Rook, Juno, Eyvind, Iver and more to defining close. The Banner Saga 3 crushed a KickStarter goal and is well on its way to development. Other times it feels like Iron Age X-COM, but always it has pushed us to care about the people involved in the journey and the decisions and sacrifices we’ve chosen for them to make along the way. At times it feels like taking The Oregon Trail towards Ragnarok. This Nordic-inspired adventure has mixed elaborate storytelling and gorgeous art and music with a compelling combat system that challenges players to think on their toes as the characters evolve through the story. The journey through the epic that has been The Banner Saga is like few other tactical RPGs out there.
