Banner Saga 3 Kickstarted

Earlier this week Stoic, the developers behind turn-based strategy series The Banner Saga, announced that Kickstarter for Banner Saga 3 had been launched.

The 30-day campaign is seeking $200,000 in order to successfully fund the development of the third in the series of the Viking inspired game, with the total just $60,000 shy of the target (as of writing).

The BAFTA-nominated series was originally Kickstarted back in 2012 and returns to the public funding site for what the developers are calling the third and final part of the saga.

“We’re going full circle and returning to Kickstarter where it all began. In 2012, the backers were instrumental in bringing the saga to life, smashing our initial funding target that led us to increase the scope, fidelity and production values of Banner Saga. We’re proud to be indie, and despite the stellar support we get from our publisher, Versus Evil, we’re not taking any outside funding to bring this series home, we’d love Kickstarter support to add additional features that are simply beyond our current budget”.

 - John Watson, co-founder and Technical Director at Stoic.
