The Banner Saga 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch, and fans now have a release date for the game.
Earlier today, The Banner Saga’s Twitter account announced The Banner Saga 2’s Nintendo Switch release date, teasing that the game launches in just two weeks. Fans can buy it from the Nintendo eShop on June 7. The game was originally released for PC and Mac in April 2016.
The Banner Saga 2’s Nintendo Switch release date follows just a few months after publisher Versus Evil revealed that all three games within The Banner Saga are planned for Nintendo Switch. The Banner Saga launched on Nintendo Switch on May 17, and the third and final game in the trilogy, The Banner Saga 3, will be released on July 24. The series merges tactical strategy and role-playing combat with a beautiful immersive story inspired by Norse mythology, and its style mirrors classic animated epics from companies like Disney and DreamWorks.
The Banner Saga’s Twitter account tweeted on Tuesday that there are “no plans” for a trilogy bundle on Nintendo Switch, meaning fans will have to buy all three The Banner Saga games separately in order to experience the full story on the Nintendo console. When asked about a trilogy cartridge for Switch on another occasion, however, the game’s official Twitter account also said that a full collection could “perhaps” happen, but that Versus Evil is focused on releasing all three games first.
The Banner Saga 3 is set to release simultaneously on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One when it launches on July 24.
