The release of 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 Mount & Blade 3 could continue to focus on a mixture of role-playing, strategy, and intense combat.
- Economy and diplomacy: Players could interact with the economy even more intensely. The established trading system could be further expanded, with dynamic prices determined by supply and demand. A stronger 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 these mechanics could have a stronger impact on the course of wars and the building of empires.
- Unique weapons and equipment: In addition to the classic medieval weapons such as swords, spears and axes, which were already used in the predecessors, legendary weapons with special abilities could be added in a possible Mount & Blade 3, as reported by gamerstyme. The crafting system could also play a more important role and offer deeper customization options.
- New siege mechanics: The sieges in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord are already a central element of the game. In Mount & Blade 3, however, this could be further refined. The ability to launch targeted tactical counterattacks when the opponent is besieged is mentioned by the development studio itself as a potential feature. This could lead to more dynamic and immersive battles.
- TaleWorlds itself also emphasizes that work on new mechanics is ongoing, particularly in improving AI and balancing. They explained that many of these changes “aim to further deepen 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 though there is currently no confirmed release date, it makes sense to keep some tips in mind to be well prepared as soon as the game is released:
- Early specialization and character development: In contrast to previous games, skills such as diplomacy and economics could be crucial to long-term survival in the first few hours of the game. Focus early on skills that are important not only for combat but also for empire management.
- Build factions and alliances in a targeted way: Alliances formed early on could play a central role in cementing your position in the game. Fan rumors suggest that there could be deeper diplomatic options that allow you to play enemies against each other.
