However, Mount & Blade II Bannerlord can be a very challenging game, and there is a steep learning curve, especially at the beginning. Even though the game is on Early Access, it is still missing some features and contains some bugs (according to a developer post before launch), but fans were eager to get their hands on the long waited game. The medieval tactical RPG Mount and Blade II Bannerlord launched on March 30th with great success, hitting a peak concurrent player base of 228,071 on Steam, within the first 48 hours.
