Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord’s War Sails DLC Gets New November Date

TaleWorlds Entertainment announced a new release date for its upcoming War Sails DLC for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. The DLC will release simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 26, 2025. The announcement comes with a new fifteen-minute showcase highlighting the DLC’s naval-focused gameplay.

War Sails introduces naval combat to the game, as well as a new Viking-inspired faction — the Nords — that specialises in seafaring and close-quarters combat. It adds a northern region, a settled island, coastal waters, and open seas to the world of Calradia, with the game’s dynamic weather system including storms and trade winds. Players are able to board enemy ships from multiple points, ram them, or attack from afar. There will be eighteen different ship types, which can be customised with siege engines, cargo holds, sails, rams, and more, and players will also be able to capture enemy ships.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a follow-up to 2010’s Mount & Blade: Warband and originally released in 2022. It takes place 200 years before the events of Warband with the Caldrian Empire on the verge of collapse, with civil war and new groups seeking to establish their own power. The game sees players raising their own army to claim glory.
