There is big news for the medieval sandbox open-world Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. In a new developer entry, which can be read in its entirety (on Steam), the numerous innovations for the multiplayer mode that recently found their way into the game are presented.
And they are quite something: from the customisation of your character with loot to new animations to strengthen the group morale, to player ratings and a badge system that follows on from this; all fans should find something for themselves here.
Also new: A benchmark mode! This will allow you to better adjust the game performance to your system in the future, as a performance overlay will show you exactly how the CPU and graphics card are being used.
Will these numerous innovations be enough to dampen the criticism from the community? Many players are not satisfied with the course taken by the developers.
