Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord will be taking to the sea on November 26, when the long-awaited War Sails expansion arrives on all platforms, including PS5. The expansion, developed by TaleWorlds, introduces full naval combat and fleet management to Bannerlord’s existing land-focused warfare. Players will be able to raise and command a fleet, which in turn will affect trade routes and diplomacy across the enlarged map. The package is priced at $24.99 / 324.99.
This is a notable change for a game that has spent most of its life on solid ground. Bannerlord’s PS5 port arrived three years ago, and War Sails is the first major content drop that genuinely reshapes the way the campaign plays by bringing sea lanes, ship-to-ship fighting, and naval strategy into the mix. The expansion launches alongside a large update. Official patch notes have not been posted yet, so the full list of mechanical and UI tweaks remains pending.
Below the jump, you’ll find the official gameplay reveal embedded by the developer on release day for a closer look at ship combat and fleet actions. If you play Bannerlord on console or PC, this will change how you manage provinces and move armies. Expect new tactical choices and a different set of headaches when storms, boarding actions, and convoy raids enter the equation. Sound off in the comments if you plan to sail the high seas or stick to sieges on land, and share any tactics you’ve already got lined up.
