At the moment, the peak number of gamers has already grown to a value of 178.562, and, apparently, the growth will continue further. The role-playing action has left behind even such major releases of this year as Doom eternal and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
The developers have already reported that Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord lingers in early access for about another year. The creators do not have a clear deadline, so their main task at the moment is to make the project interesting for gamers and playable.
In the future, the game will be filled with content, but now for those who are interested in research and the multi-user component, it offers a full Campaign mode and custom battles.
