This is the first time that home consoles will receive a Banner Saga release day and date with PC. The first two games in the trilogy will also be come to Nintendo Switch before July so that new players can catch up with the story so far.

Steve Escalante, general manager of publisher Versus Evil, said in a press release:

Banner Saga 3 will maintain the legacy created by the previous two games in the series. Even more exciting is the fact that in addition to PC we are bringing Banner Saga 3 to PlayStation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch simultaneously at launch. Stoic have created a trilogy that will stand the test of time as one of the best RPGs ever created and one that has resonated with fans from all over the world. This is it! This is the end. If there was ever a time to experience the Banner Saga it is now.”

There will be three digital versions of the game on PC. The standard edition will be priced at a very reasonable $24.99 and come with no goodies whatsoever.
