The Banner Saga Console Port Update, Horseborn Profiled

The latest post-funding Kickstarter update for The Banner Saga doesn’t quite offer a date for the planned console ports of the title, but the developers at Stoic assure us that the game is coming to Sony and Microsoft’s machines soon and that they are just putting the finishing touches on the ports To make the game work properly on consoles, the developers had to make some changes to the UI and controls, though they are now very satisfied with how the game plays on a controller.

The update also includes a profile of the Horseborn, a new race that will make an appearance in The Banner Saga 2:

The Horseborn

Tribal, warring, and somewhat mysterious, the horseborn are another race produced by a god who cross-wove two of the Loom-mother’s creations. They once lived among man and varl, though they were never fully tolerated. With a lifespan half that of humans, their boldness was perceived as reckless by the other races. Centuries ago, following the advice of a single leader, horseborn slaughtered all the horses in order to free them from man and varl. The shame from such an act forced them all to flee south in self-exile to the empty plains of Dalalond.
