"[W]e knew that a two-year wait for the sequel was just not acceptable, so we worked extremely hard to ensure that console gamers could continue their journey in a timely fashion," John Watson, Stoic technical director, says.
Compared to what happened with the first The Banner Saga, the timeframe between the PC launch and the consoles is a lot shorter this time around — just three months instead of two years.

Also, as something more to look forward to in the series, he continues to say that the company intends to release The Banner Saga 3 to all the platforms at the same time. Now that's just downright good news to hear for everyone.

For those who don't know, The Banner Saga 2 is already available on the Mac and the PC via Steam with a price tag of $19.99. However, there's still no word about it going live on Android, iOS, Linux or PS Vita.
