The Banner Saga: Factions is a free-to-play multiplayer fantasy tactical role-playing video game, developed by Stoic as a spinoff of The Banner Saga and published by Versus Evil. It was released for personal computers in 2013.
The game was the debut title of Stoic Studio, which was founded by three former BioWare designers. It was conceived when they were designing the combat for The Banner Saga, and they decided to release it for free as a standalone multiplayer game so players could get familiar with it.
The game received mixed reviews upon launch. Its servers were shut down in February 2021, with Stoic stating that they could not afford to support it anymore.
