For The Banner Saga 2, Stoic will continue the legacy and story of The Banner Saga, that was recently confirmed as an upcoming release for PlayStation Vita.  Featuring stunning 2D animation and art, a unique tactical combat system and a cast of unforgettable characters, the original game earned several awards and nominations.

Originally scheduled for 2015, publisher Versus Evil has confirmed earlier rumors that the sequel is being pushed back to 2016, and issued the following statement:

"We are currently wrapping up development for the first game now. The delays in the console is mainly game development fun, but also the team has spent time working on console specific controls to make it perform as a console game, more than just a port.

Banner Saga 2's development is progressing nicely. Customers who have attended Gamescom and PAX have seen its progress. We will update everyone on its launch date when the timing is right.

The board game is being developed by MegaCon and in no way has affected our development on porting Banner Saga to consoles nor has it caused any delays Banner Saga 2."
