Battle Brothers Release Date Announced, Trailer

The final release date for Battle Brothers, the popular turn-based tactical RPG that's been on Steam Early Access for nearly two years, has been announced. The game will leave Early Access on March 24, 2017 and will cost you $29.99, or your regional equivalent. We'll begin with the release date announcement trailer:



And here's the feature list for the 1.0 release:
FEATURES
  • Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
  • Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.
  • Permadeath. All characters that die in combat will stay dead – unless they return as the undead.
  • All characters come with their own background stories and traits. Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble?
  • Character development without a restrictive class-system. Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks.
  • Equipment that matters. Different weapons grant unique skills – split shields with axes, stun enemies with maces, form a spearwall with spears or crush armor with a warhammer.
  • Diverse enemy roster. All enemies have unique equipment, skills and AI behavior.
  • A dynamic event system with atmospheric encounters and tough decisions outside of combat.
  • Three late game crises – a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead scourge – add a looming threat.
  • Two full hours of orchestral soundtrack.
  • 70 Steam Achievements

A note from the developers on the game's price that's currently set at $19,99:
