[UPDATE]

We’ve gotten clarification from Stoic Studio regarding the status of the console ports of the original Banner Saga.

From their Facebook:

The console ports of the Banner Saga are in full affect.  We are currently wrapping up development for the first game now (in with 1st party submission).  The delays in the console is mainly game development fun, but also the team has spent time working on console specific controls to make it perform as a console game, more than just a port.

Banner Saga 2’s development is progressing nicely.  Customers who have attended Gamescom and PAX have seen its progress.  We will update everyone on its launch date when the timing is right. 

The board game is being developed by MegaCon Games and in no way has affected our development on porting Banner Saga to consoles nor has it caused any delays Banner Saga 2.

[ORIGINAL STORY]

We’ve just learned (via Eurogamer) that The Banner Saga 2 has been delayed from its planned 2015 release to a Q1 2016 release date.

However, the bad news doesn’t seem to end there, as the console port for the original game might have been cancelled entirely.

According to a spokesperson, the next release by the studio will be The Banner Saga 2, which either means that the console ports have been delayed as well or that they’ve been completely scrapped.

Versus Evil have yet to release a statement on this. We’ll keep you guys posted.

The Banner Saga 2 will be releasing for PS4, PC and Xbox One.
