As the Summer of Drizzt draws closer, so does the release for the anticipated Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. But before the full game arrives later this June, details have been provided by the game development team, shedding new light on game features and team play. However, there is also a caveat for the date of the physical release of the game. Find out what's in store for the upcoming D&D action brawler/roleplaying game so far!
The Crystal Shard and Beyond
: Dark Alliance is an upcoming single player and multiplayer action game with roleplaying elements. Set in the popular Forgotten Realms campaign world from the D&D tabletop RPG, Dark Alliance has been developed by Tuque Games since 2019.
The game will follow the events during and after The Crystal Shard. The adventure and the novel written by R.A. Salvatore introduced the famed dark elf ranger, Drizzt Do'Urden and his companions. The locations will be centered on the perilous Icewind Dale region. Fans of Dungeons & Dragons will be familiar with this area, as it is often depicted both on tabletop and had two games, Icewind Dale (2000) and Icewind Dale 2 (2002), as part of the Baldur's Gate series that was developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Interplay.
Aside from Drizzt, players will also be able to choose the barbarian Wulfgar, the dwarven smith Bruenor Battlehammer, and bow specialist Cattie-brie. In single-player mode, the player can switch between the characters, while the multiplayer option can have up to four players controlling each of the companions.
