Part 7/8:
The Future of Bannerlord
As of 2024, the outlook for Bannerlord is uncertain. There’s a palpable sense of disappointment among players eager for the game to evolve beyond its current state.

With patches increasingly limited to minor fixes rather than significant advancements, the game risks being labeled a “what-if” scenario—a concept with untapped possibilities failing to animate on-screen.
