"After playing its demo at PAX East 2018, the final entry in The Banner Saga series wraps up the trilogy with an artfully crafted, cataclysmic boom."
Stoic, an independent game development company, and Versus Evil, one of the leading independent video game publishers, today announced that The Banner Saga 3 is now available on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
Gareth writes: "It’s not rare to find the final part of a trilogy turning out to be a disappointment. It has the hardest job of all, trying to tie up all the loose ends in an interesting and satisfying manner while still feeling fresh and innovative in the way it’s done. Some are terrible at this, I’m looking at you Matrix Revolutions, and then some are brilliant, think Return of the King. The Banner Saga has been heralded over the last few years as a beautifully epic saga that has built a fan base and charmed us with a myriad of characters, stunning world, and significant story. Which trilogy side does Banner Saga 3 fall on? The good, the bad or the downright ugly?"
Kyle from DSOGaming writes: "First introduced to us back in 2014, The Banner Saga made big waves across the indie scene where it was a hit among gamers, receiving mostly positive feedback. It can be easy to forget how far we’ve come in such a short time with creating an arms wide open acceptance to things like early access and crowdfunding, establishing a solid foothold for the little guys to make a name in the industry. It is games like this that make me glad for it, and while not all of them may be successes, and we’ve certainly had our share of blunders, The Banner Saga has made a name for itself as nothing short of brilliant. So, does the third and final game of the series serve as a worthy finale?"
