News: The new party-based RPG from n-Space and Digital Extremes is headed to consoles later on this year.

Sword Coast Legends is coming to Xbox One and PS4 according to n-Space and Digital Extremes. Sword Coast Legends is a party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast. The previously announced PC, Mac and Linux versions will now officially release on September 8, 2015 with the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game becoming available later this year.

"We've had a clear goal since day one to evoke the classic D&D experience between four players and a Dungeon Master, and to bring back memories of the great D&D games of the past," said Dan Tudge, President of n-Space and Director for Sword Coast Legends. "After we announced and demonstrated Sword Coast Legends to overwhelmingly positive response at GDC, the press, partners, and fans all requested more. They wanted Mac, so we're doing it. They wanted Linux, so we're doing it. They clamored for console... so we circled back and figured out how to do it without compromising our vision for PC gamers. This addition to our existing PC, Mac and Linux versions ensures gamers will be able to have that classic D&D experience whenever, wherever and however they want."

"We love that Sword Coast Legends delivers the authentic D&D experience by letting friends tell great fantasy stories together," said Nathan Stewart, brand director of Dungeons & Dragons. "With Sword Coast Legends being available on so many platforms, it doesn't matter if you game on a couch, at the kitchen table or your desk -- you'll be able to join your party for some glorious D&D dungeon delves."

Sword Coast Legends presents the most true-to-form representation of classic tabletop adventuring ever realized in a cooperative multiplayer video game. The game's innovative Dungeon Master Mode introduces players to an entirely new way to play Dungeons & Dragons with a real-time, active and reactive Dungeon Master in cooperative multiplayer sessions and campaigns.

Some of the features for Sword Coast Legends includes:

Massive story campaign

Complex storyline weaving throughout the exotic Forgotten Realms’ Sword Coast

Deep character customization, party-based gameplay and NPC interaction

Highly customizable combat and challenging monster encounters

Campaign creation tools for extended multiplayer adventures

The latest streamlined fifth edition D&D rules

Robust post-launch module expansion program

Orchestral soundtrack from composer Inon Zur

Sword Coast Legends is currently available for pre-order from Steam and the PlayStation Store at a limited and discounted price of $34.99. PS4 pre-orders also include a bonus $10 worth of Warframe Platinum in-game currency. Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions, which include a tome of knowledge, cloth map of the Sword Coast, the official soundtrack, numerous in-game bonuses, starter items and DM abilities, as well as a statue of the powerful demon Belaphoss (Collector’s Edition) are also available for pre-order for $59.99 and $29.99, respectively, from www.SwordCoast.com.
