'Sword Coast Legends (ALL) Gets Delayed, Free DLC With Pre-Order - Screens

by Rainier on Aug. 5, 2015 @ 2:04 p.m. PDT

Set in the lush and vibrant world of the Forgotten Realms, Sword Coast Legends offers an all-new way to enjoy the time-tested magic of playing Dungeons & Dragons as a shared storytelling experience.

With a deep narrative developed by a team of long-time industry veterans and a partnership with Wizards of the Coast, the single player campaign of Sword Coast Legends brings the world of Faerûn home like never before.

Sword Coast Legends also brings the roleplaying dynamic between players and Dungeon Masters to life with DM Mode, a first-of-its-kind real-time experience in which Dungeon Masters guide players through unique customizable adventures. In DM Mode, the Dungeon Master engages players and empowers them to have fun in a way that suits the party best while creating a tailored, non-adversarial 4 with 1 experience that any RPG or pen-and-paper fan will enjoy.

n-Space announced that the PC version of their party-based RPG Sword Coast Legends has been pushed a few weeks from its previous Sept. 8 date to September 29, 2015 (PS4 and Xbox One version remain scheduled for late 2015). To make up for it, fans who pre-order the game will now receive the first Sword Coast Legends DLC, Rage of Demons, absolutely free!

"We're extremely excited to show everyone what we've been up to with Sword Coast Legends, but it looks like our dungeon bosses need a few more hit points ... Larethar needs even more of a Scottish accent ... and the game itself could use a touch 'more cowbell,'" said Dan Tudge, President of n-Space and Director for Sword Coast Legends.  "All kidding aside, our fans deserve nothing less than whatever it takes on our part to deliver the compelling roleplaying dynamic of Dungeons & Dragons tabletop to the world of cooperative multiplayer video games.  If that means the game needs a few additional weeks of balancing, tuning and general polish -- so be it."

"While it's hard to wait a few more weeks for Sword Coast Legends to drop, I'm happy the n-Space team is dedicated to crafting a quality D&D experience. All pre-orders getting the Rage of Demons DLC for free is exciting news," said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director of Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast. "And for D&D fans, the Rage of Demons DLC gives them another exciting way to face the demon lords in the Underdark."
