Wizards of the Coast reveal plans for Sword Coast Legends, a new role-playing
game using their Dungeons & Dragons setting coming to PCs this year.
A
teaser trailer offers
a first look, and the game's website describes how this will mimic the tabletop
RPG experience with dungeon master support and more:
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 Faerūn 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.
