The release of a Mount & Blade 3 has not yet been officially confirmed, but there are already rumors about the potential third part of the series.
This could include Mount & Blade 3
As with its predecessors, it is expected that the focus of Mount & Blade 3 could continue to be on a mixture of role-playing, strategy and intense combat.
- Economy and diplomacy: Players could interact even more intensively with the economy. The established trading system could be further expanded, with dynamic prices determined by supply and demand. A greater emphasis on diplomacy and strategic alliances could also be expected. However, these are just rumors and fan theories. According to gamerstyme, it is speculated that this mechanic could have a greater impact on the course of wars and empire building.
- Unique weapons and equipment: In addition to the classic medieval weapons such as swords, spears and axes that were already used in the predecessors, legendary weapons with special abilities could be added in a possible Mount & Blade 3, as gamerstyme reports. The crafting system could also play a larger role and offer deeper customization options.
- New siege mechanics: The sieges in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord are already a central element of the game. However, in Mount & Blade 3 this could be further refined. The ability to carry out targeted tactical counterattacks when the enemy is under siege is mentioned as a potential feature by the development studio itself. This could lead to more dynamic and immersive battles.
- TaleWorlds itself also emphasizes that work on new mechanics is ongoing, especially in improving AI and balancing. They explained that many of these changes are “aimed at further deepening the sandbox experience.” These new developments could be the first signs of how TaleWorlds wants to shape the future of the series, possibly with Mount & Blade 3.
Tips for a possible Mount & Blade 3 release
Even if there is currently no confirmed release date, it makes sense to keep a few tips in mind in order to be well prepared as soon as the game is released:
- Early specialization and character development: Unlike the previous games, skills such as diplomacy and economics could be crucial in the first few hours of play to ensure long-term survival. Focus early on skills that are important not only for combat but also for empire management.
- Build factions and alliances in a targeted manner: Early alliances could play a pivotal role in solidifying your position in the game. Fan rumors suggest there could be deeper diplomatic options that allow you to play enemies against each other.
