For instance, the role of Rugga, the governor of Boersgard, was not originally thought out in great detail. Some of the characters increased in importance quite a bit, and others changed their roles. “What has changed are many of the details along the way. “The grand arc of the story, and the mythology behind it is largely the same,” Watson tells us. Surprisingly, this isn’t a twist or kink that Stoic added in at the last minute. This keys in to the dark, desperate tone of the storyline as the humans, Varls, and the Dredge are forced to work together as a larger threat looms. We get to see a Dredge Stonesinger in one of the parties that Stoic shows us. The trilogy follows the developing conflict between the two sides and in The Banner Saga 3, the Dredge will now appear in playable form. The Dredge are hostile to all intelligent life. The Dredge, ancient enemies of the Varl believed to be extinct, have started to appear and no-one knows why. The Banner Saga followed the story of the humans and giant-like creatures Varls, who are stuck in twilight when the sun stops moving. This turned out to be the case, and we are honored to be able to finish the entire story!” We had high hopes that the first game would meet enough success to continue the trilogy. Fortunately, the story had a natural 3-act structure, so we decided to segment it like that and tackle one piece at a time. “We quickly realized that the 3 of us would have a very hard time telling the whole story all at once. “We originally envisioned the Saga as a pretty epic mythological story,” explains Watson. It’s pretty impressive to see a gaming trilogy arrive so confidently and assuredly at the final destination that was planned when the developers started putting the original game together. But that’s because it’s the final game in the trilogy that Stoic first cooked up in 2014. The Banner Saga 3 is shrouded in bleak misery, despair, and characters who cling to the faintest glimmers of hope in a dark world. WHAT’S THE STORY, MORNING GLORY EVENING MISERY? The tone is dark, and the consequences final.” Your heroes and refugees are fighting to survive for a few more days, while Juno, Iver, and Eyvind rush into the darkness in a race against time to save the world. “The destruction of the entire world is at hand. “It will definitely be the darkest, most intense, and have the highest stakes,” says Stoic’s co-founder and Technical Director John Watson. What better time to take a look at the forthcoming slice of misery that is The Banner Saga 3?īecause things get dark in The Banner Saga 3. It’s beer gardens, park picnics, loud music, and bright, beautiful colours. It’s tops off and beers out, as the fiery ball of death in the sky slowly cooks us all.
