The Banner Saga only hit Google Play in November and already we are hearing that the sequel to this game, appropriately named The Banner Saga 2, will also be making its way to mobile devices soon. Stoic Studios made the announcement today and while it was mainly focused on the PC and console version, hidden a bit inside is that the sequel will also be coming to mobile devices.
The Banner Saga 2 was actually officially unveiled during the Video Game Awards here in Las Vegas last Friday. While there isn’t a whole lot of information about this game right now, the developers are stating that it will follow the legacy of the original game both in storyline as well as in quality and gameplay. That is a good thing because the original is quite a fun game to play.
