The Banner Saga - Strategy/RPG by ex-BioWare Trio

Not a full RPG but ex-BioWare trio Arnie Jorgensen, Alex Thomas and John Watson (Star Wars: The Old Republic) have formed Stoic Games and their first project is The Banner Saga, "role-playing meets turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings":

What is the Banner Saga?

Short answer: role-playing meets turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings.

Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film as your party escapes what could be the end of everything. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat. Make decisions with real consequences in conversations with people you'll actually care about.

The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy. Hope you'll join the caravan.

Nice art.
