Banner Saga 2 gets updated with paid DLC Survival Mode. Double pack also available

-

Back in the middle of 2016, Banner Saga 2 arrived onto our consoles. Following up from the magic of the original The Banner Saga, it had big shoes to fill but its free-ness thanks to its Xbox Games With Gold giveaway debut meant that it reached an audience of millions. Now though, it’s been updated and the new Survival Mode sounds like it is well worth checking out.

Available to purchase for £3.99 – yep sorry, no more freebies here – the Survival Mode for Banner Saga 2 lets you test your strategic wit with 40 escalating battles as you lead your heroes against numerous waves of enemies. Renown will be earnt, and can then in turn allow you to equip new items and unlock new heroes. But your main challenge will be to best your friends and rank yourself as high up the Survival leaderboards as you possibly can – whether that be in the Normal mode, or the Harder difficulty settings.

But that’s not all, as to accompany the new Survival add-on as a whole new game pack bundle, one which delivers Banner Saga 2, the Survival add-on and the original, The Banner Saga, for one great £30.39 price. Well, one cheaper price at least as whilst the savings aren’t the best, it is most definitely the place any newcomer to the series should start.

As you would expect, the Xbox Games Store should be your next port of call. Although our reviews of The Banner Saga and Banner Saga 2 should certainly be checked out too.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
