News: Banner Saga 2 is now available on Xbox One and it is available for free for Xbox Live Gold members.

Banner Saga 2 is now available on Xbox One and is available for free to Xbox Live Gold members as part of July’s “Games with Gold” promotion. As a bonus, Xbox One gamers will all get an exclusive passive ability boost, the Tome of X, a book of catalogued pastimes, competition, puzzles. This item will be automatically unlocked in the game and can be equipped when a player's character reaches the required level.

Banner Saga for Xbox One launched earlier this year in April and was the first release of a planned three part saga. This story driven tactical RPG puts players in some tough situations throughout their epic journey and forces them to make some very hard and sometimes devastating decisions. For those gamers that played the first Banner Saga game, these choices will carry over into Banner Saga 2. However, gamers new to the series can jump right into Banner Saga 2 without being penalized for not playing the first game and will be given some basic character options at the start of the game with which they can start their journey.

As previously announced, the game for PlayStation 4 will launch next week on July 5th and PlayStation Plus members will be able to get 10% off Banner Saga 2 and 30% off the Banner Saga 1 and 2 complete pack.
