RENTON, Wash., Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wizards of the
Coast and Tuque Games are proud to announce DARK ALLIANCE, a
third-person action RPG, will launch worldwide on PC and consoles
in Fall 2020.
DARK ALLIANCE is an exciting, action-driven, hack-and-slash
adventure filled with iconic monsters, legendary characters, and
epic loot. In an all-new trailer that debuted during last night's
Game Awards, Jeff Hattem,
Founder of Tuque Games introduced millions of players to the game's
unique take on Drizzt Do'Urden and his legendary companions.
"From the moment I founded Tuque, our team has known that we
wanted to bring our passion for D&D and creativity to the Dark
Alliance series," said Jeff Hattem,
Head of Studio, Tuque Games. "We're taking players on an epic
journey through the harsh and violent, Icewind Dale, where they're
going to need to use their wits, their weapons and their party
members to help them survive the iconic monsters we're going to
send their way."
A spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series
featuring popular characters created by best-selling fantasy author
R.A. Salvatore, the new DARK ALLIANCE combines the pulse-pounding
action of a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler with the progression and
loot systems of a role-playing game.
"Drizzt and his companions are some of Dungeons & Dragons'
most recognizable heroes," said Nathan
Stewart, Head of Franchise for Dungeons & Dragons. "This
all-new Dark Alliance will give players a visceral experience that
drops them into the action of a Drizzt storyline like never
before."
Featuring couch or online co-op for up to four people, fans can
play as scimitar-wielding hero Drizzt Do'Urden or one of his unique
companions Catti-Brie, Bruenor, or Wulfgar as they set out on an
action-packed adventure in the icy tundra of Icewind Dale.
