TaleWorlds Entertainment has revealed that Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord will finally launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 25. Most likely, on that day the game will also leave Steam Early Access, where Bannerlord has been available since March 2020.

The devs initially announced their plans to bring the Mount & Blade: Warband prequel to consoles in 2015, long before the PC version hit Early Access. Koch Media's Prime Matter, which signed a deal with the developers back in 2021, will publish the title across PlayStation and Xbox platforms. As part of the deal Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord will be available globally through retail stores, in addition to digital versions.

The game's latest major update arrived in May, bringing an additional battle game mode for up to 120 players and seven extra scenes to the table.
