A few of which won’t live to see the end of your long, arduous adventure. Choices range from simple conversation topics to tougher decisions before a battle takes place, which affects the characters you are with. Perhaps someone has gotten drunk and jostling the caravan of poor morale, perhaps some random strangers from a campfire wants to join your caravan, only to run with some of your supplies. The game screams out loud the risks of your decision-making. A large part of the game has you travelling across the landscape as it rolls out “Oregon Trail”-like spot decision-making that will affect the number of folks who remain in your ever-moving caravan and change the way your game will be played out.

Players will enjoy a beautiful and haunting original score by Grammy nominated, two-time BAFTA winning composer Austin Wintory conducting The Dallas Winds orchestra, as well as a powerhouse trio of acclaimed YouTube sensations: Peter Hollens, Malukah and Taylor Davis.

The Banner Saga is a single player driven Viking saga, where a player’s choice in travel, conversation and combat determines the outcome of their own personal story as well as the survival of an entire civilization. Despite the technical challenges we initially faced in porting the game, we’re extremely happy with the end result of many months of hard work to deliver a worthy console version” said John Watson, founder and technical director at Stoic. “Merging the story and gameplay of Banner Saga with a refined controller interface makes it a very enjoyable console gaming experience.
