Although the Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG had only been announced for Linux, Mac and PC , developers n-Space and Digital Extremes decided to also release the game on current-gen consoles when gamers "clamored" for them."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."The game promises a "massive" and "complex" story campaign, deep character customisation, "engrossing party-based gameplay", campaign creation tools and a "robust" post-launch expansion program."We love that Sword Coast Legends delivers the authentic D&D experience by letting friends tell great fantasy stories together," added 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."You can pre-order now on PC and PlayStation 4 for the discounted price of $35.
