D&D General Gameplay Trailer for D&D Dark Alliance Video Game

I'd forgotten all about this, but it was one of the 7 digital Dungeons & Dragons games mentioned in February of 2020. It's a console game which launches in June, and you can now watch a gameplay trailer of it.



The game features a Drizz't and his friends, and you get to fight frost giants, beholders, and white dragons in Icewind Dale. You can pre-order it now.

That beholder is all jaw. Where does the stuff it eats go?

Disintegration effect.

So this seems to have been stealth-dropped, unless I just missed it before:

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Returns To Consoles Tomorrow

While fans of hack-and-slash RPGs await the June 22 release of the all-new Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, Interplay’s releasing the 2001 classic that started it all. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance will be available for PlayStations, Xboxes, and Switch tomorrow, complete with support for 4K...

Niiiiiice. Now, if we can get them to rerelease Champions of Norath...

Norrath was the better game.

Although I can't ever seeing playing it on desktop ever again, I am mildly surprised that there's soon going to be two versions of Runescape on mobile, but no version of EverQuest, not even a port of the short-lived console game.

Is the old version worth playing without online multiplayer?

I only played the OG solo and found it to be a fun dungeon crawler.

Huh. I recall playing a male magic user...with a book in hand? Is that the sequel I’m thinking of?

Anyway, that solves which game I’m getting next for the switch!

That's cool to see. The 1st DA is very fun. I remember being blown away at the water tech. I'm hoping for a PC release (even better, on GOG) as I already own the PS2 version and it's sequel and I plan to play them through again when I get my Retrotink 5x!

 

[Ath-kethin]

Holy smokes! I've been wishing/hoping for an game like DA ever since my 7yo got a Switch for Christmas, and there just isn't anything that works the same way (that I'm comfortable playing with the kid).

This is amazing news!
