The Stoic Studio Website unveils plans for The Banner Saga, an upcoming tactical RPG with turn-based combat following a Viking theme (thanks LNjr via The Indie Game Magazine). Stoic Studio was formed by couple of former BioWare employees after working together on Star Wars: The Old Republic. Plans for The Banner Saga are not completely clear, as the page says: Free multiplayer combat - Coming soon." This is cleared up in an interview about the game on IndieRPGs.com where Alex Thomas explains:

Our first priority has always been to make a real, story-based, single player campaign with The Banner Saga just like you’re saying. As we developed our combat system we felt that we have something really unique and fun and figured why not release it as a standalone? As a result, the game will have a single player and multiplayer component. We’ll release the multiplayer combat for free later this year and release the single-player campaign soon after that. Rest assured, the single player campaign is our primary focus.
