It’s a bummer that there aren’t many Co-op medieval games out there. Even a big-name title like Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is missing the co-op online play we all crave. No worries, though! If you’re stoked to dive into the world of Bannerlord and experience a cooperative multiplayer adventure with your friends, we’ve got some rad news for you!!

Even though the official Bannerlord multiplayer might not be your cup of tea, the modding community has come to the rescue with some fantastic co-op mods that will have you and your friends planning and conquering together in no time. Check out these two top-notch mods available right now:

Bannerlord Online

This incredible mod turns Bannerlord into an MMORPG, packed with co-op, PvE, and PvP gameplay. Bannerlord Online serves up a massive sandbox experience like the original game but amps up the fun by letting you team up with friends, forge alliances, and duke it out with other real players on a dynamic map. Plus, Bannerlord Online boasts a player-driven economy, allowing you to buy and sell items from both NPCs and other players to level up your gaming journey.

To experience this amazing mod, simply head over to https://bannerlord-online.com and sign up for an account. Then, download the Bannerlord Online launcher, and you’re good to go!

In Bannerlord Online, you’ll relish a ton of features, including a companion system, weapon and armor crafting workshops, an enhanced chat system, a detailed food system, a transparent loot system, a global market, and loads more.

Persistent Empires

Crafted by the Avrasia Bannerlord Community and inspired by the fan-favorite Persistent World mod from Mount & Blade Warband, Persistent Empires harnesses the new engine’s power and improved moddability to deliver an enthralling co-op experience. Roam an enormous map with up to a thousand players, build and defend your kingdom, collect resources, and choose from various classes with unique skills. You’ll need to gather food to survive, forge weapons and armor for defense, and work together to safeguard your kingdom or overthrow others.

To check out this wicked mod with your friends, head to the Steam Workshop and search for Persistent Empires or use this direct link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2937242207 (This is the direct link to the Persistent Empires Mod Page).

Start the multiplayer version of Bannerlord and look for a server starting with “Persistent Empires”.

Both Bannerlord Online & Persistent Empires give you the chance to enjoy Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord with your friends in a vibrant, immersive multiplayer setting. If you dig commanding your own army and battling real players, give Bannerlord Online a whirl. If you’re into games like ARK: Survival Evolved, Myth of Empires, or have a thing for building and crafting systems, Persistent Empires could be right up your alley.
