Patch e1.7.2 for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is now available. This update brings the new Battle game mode - a round-based mode where up to 120 players can join in. What separates this from the other game modes is that players will only have one life each, meaning death is not an option for those who want to win.
Two teams will spawn on either side of the map. The main goal of the Battle game mode in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is that players must do everything they can to destroy the enemy team. This can mean holding the enemy team’s flags to break their morale or defeating every single one of them to win the round.
Patch e1.7.2 also brings seven new scenes - three of which are available in the Battle game mode. They are:
- Cypegos Blockade (Battle)
- Osrac Insurrection (Battle)
- Skolder Hideout (Battle)
- Pendaric (Captain)
- Zendyar (Skirmish)
- Urikskalaar (Skirmish)
- Sharis (Skirmish)
