Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is the latest game in the Mount and Blade series, bringing with it a handful of updates to the mechanics and visuals of the franchise. The core gameplay is still the same though, with the player taking to their goal of building a feudal empire within a fantasy land. The original Mount and Blade and its expansion also earned some really creative modding support, so plenty to do.
Even on the minimum settings, it should be fairly easy to run the game at lower graphical quality, although you will need to crank down the number of units in a battle in these cases. Those more toward the recommended end of the spectrum should be able to run the full scale of battles and the open-world content in this game no problem. And there is no shortage of things to do. From leveling up through diplomacy or combat, players will find themselves contending with various factions in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, each with their own goals and even culture.
Given the large battles that often take place in these games, you’re going to need a pretty beefy rig to run this game at its best. So take a moment to consider the specs listed below if you are thinking about purchasing Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord.
