Stoic Studio and Versus Evil confirmed a release date for the console version of Viking tactical RPG The Banner Saga. The game will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next month on January 12, 2016 with pricing yet to be announced.

The Banner Saga was originally released for PC in January 2014, where it earned a very positive review from RPGamer's Zach Welhouse. The game is the first part of a planned trilogy, with The Banner Saga 2 planned for release in 2016. The developer also posted an update on its forum that the planned Vita version of The Banner Saga is currently on hold following the folding of the company originally tasked with porting the game to consoles.
