Humorously saying the D&D RPG needs "more cowbell," developer n-Space announces
a three week delay to
Sword Coast Legends, their Dungeons & Dragons
role-playing game. This
previously
carried a September 8th release date, but word is the Windows, OS X, and
Linux editions are now due on September 29th, while the release window for the
console editions remains sometime this year. As a consolation, they announce a
free DLC pack for all who preorder the game:
Independent developers,
n-Space and Digital Extremes, announced that their upcoming Sword Coast
Legends™, a party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Forgotten Realms
universe from Wizards of the Coast, will now release on Steam for PC, Mac and
Linux on September 29. The PlayStation®4 and Xbox® One versions of Sword Coast
Legends are still slated to appear in late 2015.
"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."
