History

TaleWorlds Entertainment was founded by Armağan Yavuz, who studied Computer Engineering at Bilkent University. The company formed after members of the gaming community provided support to his hobby project called Mount & Blade, while it was still in its beta stage. The company started to sell e-copies of the beta version of the game online, which funded the development of their first game via online-sales income.

Publishing its first game in 2008, TaleWorlds Entertainment managed to sell over one million copies of the game throughout the world, and reported over three million dollars in revenue. The company developed its second game Mount & Blade: Warband as a sequel.

In 2012, it was announced that TaleWorlds Entertainment was working on a new game for the Mount & Blade series, titled Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. In 2019, an early access version of the game was announced, which was released on 30 March 2020. The game was officially released on October 25, 2022.[2]
