All three entries in developer Stoic Games’s critically acclaimed The Banner Saga series will be heading to Switch later this year, Nintendo has announced.
Part one of Stoic’s beautiful The Banner Saga trilogy launched back in 2014, setting the template for subsequent entries with its compelling blend of narrative-heavy, Viking-themed role-playing and turn-based strategy.
The Banner Saga’s Norse mythology-inspired story is central to the series’ success, so Stoic will begin by launching The Banner Saga 1 & 2 on Switch “soon”, according to Nintendo. The third, concluding part of the series is due to arrive this “summer” – the same release window given to the previously announced PC and Mac version of the game.
As was the case on other platforms, players’ personal stories, progress and choices in each entry can carry on over to subsequent games in the trilogy, so there’s definitely incentive to start at the beginning on Switch if you haven’t already experienced the series elsewhere.
Although no firm release dates have been given for any part of The Banner Saga trilogy on Switch, it shouldn’t be too long before Stoic is ready to share further news.
