Indie publisher Versus Evil has announced a pretty sweet promotion with Twitch Prime, which gives Twitch Prime members the chance to play both The Banner Saga and Banner Saga 2 for a limited time for FREE. The Banner Saga will be available to download between 23-28 February, while Banner Saga 2 will be available between 2-6 March.
Twitch Prime will also donate $1 towards the development of Banner Saga 3, developed by Indie developer Stoic games and published by Versus Evil (up to a maximum of $200,000) for every person who downloads and plays either game through the Twitch Launcher between 23rd February and 6th March.
“Working with the Twitch Prime team has been amazing,” said Steve Escalante, General Manager of Versus Evil. “They are clearly fans of the Banner Saga, which has helped us craft a great value for fans. Their commitment to the Twitch community and their commitment to support indie development with this offer is extremely generous.”
Twitch Prime members who download the games during this promotional window will also get exclusive content for Banner Saga 3, which is currently under development. Stoic launched a Kickstarter for Banner Saga 3, the final chapter in the planned trilogy, on 24th January. Funds raised will be used to help make the conclusion to this epic saga even better. The campaign, which funded in just a few days, will end on 7th March.
Gamers and Twitch fans can get all the benefits of Twitch Prime by starting a 30-day free trial, while Amazon Prime members can unlock their Twitch Prime benefits by linking their Prime accounts to Twitch at www.twitchprime.com. Heck, chances are you may already have Twitch Prime and not even know it if you are a heavy Amazon user.
