Its official. But its being released on Steam under EA. I wonder if it will come to GOG under EA as well? I hope so, because with how slow those Devs seem to be on this particular project, it might be stuck under EA for a long while. But at this point, any Bannerlord is a good thing.

Early Access is March 2020 but full release is never, i have given up hope it will ever be finished.

A few sites are reporting that the game is coming to GOG as well:

So it will be released in March as an early access title on Steam?

What with EA involved? Did they run out of money and have to sell themselves into slavery?

Pull the other one, it’s got a copy of half life 3 on it!

Quote from the GameStar link:
"Der Rollenspiel-Strategie-Simulations-Mix mit dicken Burgen und starken Rittern wird im März 2020 in die Early-Access-Phase starten, voraussichtlich auf Steam und Gog.com."

"The role-playing strategy-simulation mix with fat castles and powerful knights will start in the early access phase in March 2020, probably on Steam and Gog.com."

Voraussichtlich / probably is nothing I would bet my money on.

Correted! :-)

Only early access on that date, so the 2021 date could still be legit for a full release that somebody mentioned.

For this to take so long, they must have redone several parts or had several remakes of some parts. It is seldom a good idea to spend ten years on developing a game as you will have to redo parts that were perfectly fine when you started but would be unacceptable in a game of this calibre ten years later. Example: Ten years ago you had to ensure your game fit within 2.5GB of RAM, preferrably under 2GB so you could have a 32bit version.
