Digital Extremes and n-Space have today unveiled Sword Coast Legends, a party-based PC RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast.
It is set to be released later this year via Steam and other digital distrubtors and comes offering an all-new way to enjoy the time-tested magic of playing Dungeons & Dragons as a shared storytelling experience. By bringing the roleplaying dynamic between players and a Dungeon Master (DM) to life with a first-of-its-kind real-time DM mode, Sword Coast Legends delivers a unique experience where a Dungeon Master guides players through customizable adventures. The DM mode is not entirely focused on adversarial play typical to 4v1 games. Instead, active DMs engage and empower entire parties to have more fun in a way that best suits the desired experience. Dan Tudge, President, n-Space stated:
We are huge D&D fans and are thrilled to create a modernized storytelling experience in the iconic Forgotten Realms universe. Developing a new way to experience such a beloved and culturally influential franchise is a dream come true for our team. We are giving players a way to experience the magic of playing D&D as either a player or the DM.
Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast added:
Following the biggest and most exciting year yet for Dungeons & Dragons, Sword Coast Legends captures the spirit of D&D in a fresh, party-based RPG experience. With the director of Dragon Age: Origins and contributors from Neverwinter Nights and the Baldur’s Gate series driving development of Sword Coast Legends, we feel n-Space has the deep industry experience and talent required to deliver a new way for D&D players to experience exactly what a DM can add to the adventure.
The game is available now to pre-order, along with some limited time only collector’s editions, which include intricately crafted statues and cloth maps, among many other exclusive in-game bonuses.
