As such, the game will not only be released early so that those at home can play, but the game will also be discounted so fans can save a bit of money. The studio confirmed that its employees are currently working from home, but that it understands this isn't a privilege everyone has. TaleWorlds made the decision as part of the studio's concern over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord will launch in Early Access a day earlier than expected, on March 30 instead of March 31. That reward may be coming sooner than expected, even, as Friday morning TaleWorlds Entertainment made a surprise announcement. The prequel to the hugely popular 2008 strategy action game Mount & Blade: Warband has been years in the making, but fans are soon to be rewarded. The long-awaited Early Access release of Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is quickly approaching.
