Get ready to enter the world of D&D first on Microsoft platforms, as Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance is coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one this June — hitting Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices and platforms using Xbox Cloud Gaming!
Here’s a new gameplay trailer which teases the action adventure video game experience to come!
For those new to the world and the epic adventure to come, here’s an overview of Dark Alliance via press release.
Gather your party, choose your adventurer, and get ready to set out on an epic brawl through Icewind Dale on June 22 with Xbox Game Pass. Forget character sheets and math for the night, Dark Alliance is a third-person action brawler that drops you and your friends into the unforgiving frozen hellscape of Icewind Dale to take on iconic Dungeons & Dragons monsters and collect epic loot. You can venture on your own, but with the addition of cross play on PC and Xbox featuring up to 4-player co-op, why would you?
The Friends of the Hall
Dark Alliance lets you choose from four iconic heroes, the Companions of the Hall – Drizzt, Catti-brie, Bruenor, and Wulfgar –with over 50 different moves, special abilities, and team-attacks. The combat is pick up and play but difficult to master, with emergent strategies and tactics depending on the situation, skills, and monsters.
Choose what’s best for you: rapid strikes, backstab executions and a giant panther? Drizzt is your guy. Acrobatics, long range bow and arrow more your style? Catti-brie will suit you just fine. Whatever your play style, the Companions have you covered. And it’s a good thing they do…
Frost Giants, Dragons and Verbeeg, Oh my!
You’re not in Baldur’s Gate anymore, Bruenor. The companions (and you!) find yourself in the frozen north of Icewind Dale seeking the ancient and powerful crystal shard – Crenshinibon. Whoever wields it, possesses immense power. The only problem are the legions of monsters seeking it for themselves. You know the drill. You’ll face 30 different iconic monsters and factions like the above-mentioned beholders, frost giants, white dragons and verbeeg, as well as duergars, gnolls and many more.
We’ve followed the news on D&D Dark Alliance since it was announced along with its first gameplay trailer which you can read about here.
