'Sword Coast Legends' (ALL) Developer n-Space Shuts Down After 21 Years

by Rainier on March 30, 2016 @ 2:41 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.

Former n-Space artist Ben Leary broke the news that the Sword Coast Legends developer is shutting down after 21 years, and publisher Digital Extremes issued the following atatement:

"We are deeply saddened by the closing of n-Space.  Staying alive as a mid-sized independent developer in the games industry is no small feat.  Their passion for creating games never faltered and their dedicated team has ended on the high note of completing the console version of Sword Coast Legends.  We are working hard with them to realize as much as we can for their team during this difficult time and encourage players to keep an eye on the official website for more details on the launch of Sword Coast Legends on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Key Features:

  • Single player campaign created by members of the leadership team that brought you Dragon Age: Origins
