Mount & Blade: Warband

(Includes Latest DLCs: Napoleonic Wars + With Fire & Sword)

Game Introduction

Mount & Blade: Warband is the standalone, enhanced edition of the classic sandbox action RPG and real-time tactics game, released by TaleWorlds Entertainment in 2010. This comprehensive edition bundles the original Warband with its two major DLCs—Napoleonic Wars and With Fire & Sword—presenting players with a grand stage of warfare spanning medieval feudal conflicts, modern musket formations, and the gunpowder age of Eastern Europe.

Players assume the role of an ordinary adventurer, rising from a lone rider to a commander of thousands. They are free to carve their path to power across the continent of Calradia or the 17th-century battlefields of Eastern/Western Europe, ultimately establishing their own dominion or altering the course of history.
