Eight years have passed since it was first announced. But medieval sandbox game Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is set to arrive in early access at the end of March a post on the games twitter account has revealed.

Like its predecessor Mount & Blade II is set in a huge medieval sandbox world in which you can carve out almost any life imaginable. Become a bounty hunter, raise an army and lay siege to castles or just settle down and raise a family.
