After 10 years in Early Access, TaleWorlds Entertainment has officially released the medieval sandbox game Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. This game is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
One of the biggest changes introduced in the official launch update is voice-over content. Now, those playing on PlayStation and PC can enjoy fully-voiced dialogues in the main storyline. Voice-overs will be added to the Xbox and Windows Store versions of the game soon. TaleWorlds Entertainment also announces that all cultures in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will have unique voices in the future.
Another notable adjustment is that the amount of loot that players receive in the early game is reduced slightly. However, there’s nothing to worry about because the loot variety during the mid to late game is increased.
Here are the changes implemented in the official launch update:
