Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has received numerous patches and hotfixes over the past two weeks. Now that it seems that the most troublesome bugs and issues are fixed, the team at TaleWorlds Entertainment wants to establish “a more structured patch process to better support content changes” by adding two test branches to Steam: an alpha and a beta.

As stated by Tale Worlds Entertainment, the beta branch content releases will be internally tested by the team and released at least one week later. In this period, the development team will address any issues that arise during internal testing and release the respective fixes. The team's objective is to release the “internal version to the beta and the prior beta version to the main Steam build”. If things don't go as planned, there's a chance that the team will have to delay the patch until every issue they've found is fixed.

The alpha branch will receive untested content and it will be aimed at those interested in the games' development and modding, “even at the cost of stability”. The team plans to update this branch on a daily basis with the latest developed content.

Given that both branches are alpha and beta, anyone who tries them may experience stability and performances issues during gameplay. The beta branch should be available now. The patch notes of the beta branch can be found HERE. Alpha branch patch notes will be released at a later date, supposedly when the branch launches.

The Early Access version of the new Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has just been released and it is already breaking records. This new Mount & Blade title is the most successful game on Steam in 2020, peaking at 220,000 players in-game at the same time.

It seems that the “worldwide quarantine” caused by the COVID-19 was a motivation for the earlier than anticipated release of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Early Access, as TaleWorlds stated. And it seems it has paid off given that the recently launched game, which has been out for only two days, is already a record-breaking success.

After a development period of 8 years, the game released on the 30th of March, and after three hours, it already gathered a massive amount of sales. In these first three hours, the game had a peak of 145,000 concurrent players and +1250 reviews (88% rating) on Steam, making it the biggest launch of this year on the Steam store.

According to CCN, fans have been waiting for the Mount & Blade sequel for almost a decade, and it looks like it was worth it. At the time of writing, the game peaked at close to 220,000 concurrent players, only behind popular titles like CS: GO, PUBG, and Dota 2. This number may still rise, but only time will tell when it will hit its ceiling. On Twitch, the game has also garnered quite a viewership, with up to 229,000 viewers.

If you want to learn more about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, visit the official website. You can buy the early access version of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord with a 10% discount (+10% if you have another Mount & Blade game) in the first two weeks after its launch on Steam.
