TaleWorlds Entertainment develops War Sails as an aquatic expansion for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. The developer first revealed this naval content during March events at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Original June release plans changed when the studio postponed the expansion until Fall 2025. Gamescom 2025 attendees witnessed fresh promotional material for the maritime addition. TaleWorlds has not established a concrete launch date.
The company plans to release patch 1.3 alongside War Sails when development concludes. This free update brings stealth mechanics, disguise features, random event systems, negotiation tools, and enhanced combat to the base game. Quality concerns prompted the development team to extend production schedules beyond initial projections. Studio representatives cited the need for additional refinement and base game improvements during their delay announcement. The extended timeline should produce superior gameplay experiences according to TaleWorlds statements.
