Continue your journey soon after the climactic events of The Banner Saga. The choices you made in the first game will affect who is alive and who is dead in this exciting sequel. As the world continues to crumble around you, only one bastion of hope remains, but getting there will require strong leadership, hard sacrifices, influencing new heroes, and, as always, sound strategy in combat.

The newly released Survival Mode throws down the ultimate challenge in turn based combat battle tactics, pushing players to the limit as they try to survive 40 back to back combat levels.

“Adding the Survival Mode DLC to consoles is going to extend the Banner Saga experience for our fans,” commented Steve Escalante, General Manager at Versus Evil. “Survival Mode is pure strategy and is catered to those who want to get into epic viking battles.  The Stoic team has been nominated for Best Strategy Game with each Banner Saga 1 and 2 release so it is only fitting there is a mode that truly focuses on this game play.  We are excited customers can play the challenging Survival Mode for the first time on console!” he added.

Console gamers who already purchased Banner Saga 2 can buy the Survival Mode addition for $4.99/ €4.99/ £3.99. The Banner Saga Complete Pack which includes both The Banner Sagaand Banner Saga 2 games will also now include the additional Survival Mode DLC for an SRP of $37.99/ €37.99/ £31.99.
