War Sails hits Bannerlord seas Nov 26
TaleWorlds Entertainment has confirmed that War Sails, the naval expansion for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, will launch on November 26 at 00:00 Pacific Time. The $24.99 expansion will release simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X, following a delay from its original June release window.
War Sails introduces a fully integrated naval layer to Calradia, expanding the map northward with icy fjords, islands, rivers, and open seas. Players can command one of 18 historically inspired ships, each with distinct handling affected by wind and waves. Vessels can be purchased, captured, and upgraded with rams, siege engines, and improved sails. A new Custom Naval Battles mode enables instant fleet skirmishes on river, coastal, or open-sea maps, allowing players to test tactics or jump straight into combat without requiring campaign progression. Naval combat emphasizes period-accurate tactics, including boarding, ramming, and disabling enemy ships by targeting oars, hulls, or sails.
The expansion also adds the Northern Kingdom, home of the Nords, along with new companions, Nordic-themed armor, weapons, banners, tattoos, and hairstyles. Players must manage supply lines, blockade ports, and navigate stormy weather while striking deep into enemy territory by sea.
