Banner Saga 3 Now Has A Pledge Manager To Let Fans Keep Backing The Project
Stoic, in partnership with Versus Evil, have opened up the Banner Saga 3 PledgeManager site where fans can continue to back development of the game and also pick up pre-order only game branded items, chat with the community and the developers, and learn more about Banner Saga 3. Kickstarter backers can also fill out their Pledge Manager order and Add-On or Upgrade their pledges to add newly announced Banner Saga swag, including items such as t-shirts, mugs, posters, pins and more. It's a pretty nice way to keep involvement with backers, and get new ones, after the end of a Kickstarter campaign.
That Banner Saga is the one to open it isn't much of a surprise. The game series is a huge cult hit and keeping backers involved in development is a pretty great decision on Stoic's part. They've got a devoted fan base, and the best way to utilize that is to keep in contact.
