Gameplay will include both action RPG and strategy elements similar to other games in the Mount & Blade series, allowing players to build up parties from humble beginnings as they create armies, join lords and kingdoms, perform side quests and missions, as well as lead these armies personally into battle through the perspective of their player character. Much like Warband, this prequel will feature many of the same sandbox elements the series is known for, allowing players a multitude of ways to go about playing the game.
