Canadian game developer Turque Games has announced that its forthcoming game Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one for both Xbox and PC gamers.
As Videogamer reports, Dark Alliance is set to launch on June 22 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. However, anyone who subscribes to Xbox Game Pass will not be required to purchase the game to play it after this announcement. That’s the beauty of Game Pass, it will simply become available to play as part of your subscription.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is actually the third game in the Dark Alliance series, and follows Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance (2001) and Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II (2004). It’s a third-person action role-playing game based on the D&D tabletop role-playing system, and is sure to be popular at launch. The first two games received very favorable reviews, and this entry from Turque Games clearly benefits visually by taking advantage of the latest console hardware.
You’ll be able to play Dark Alliance with up to three friends in co-op and there is welcome support for cross-play. So it doesn’t matter which platform your friends buy the game on, you can all still play together online. Three editions are being offered for pre-order: Standard ($40), Digital Deluxe ($60), and Steelbook ($60). Digital Deluxe gets your a Beholder weapon set, Lich weapon set, and Echoes of the Blood War expansion content. The Steelbook edition is a retail exclusive and includes all the extra content from Digital Deluxe as well as a mini art book, official soundtrack, and the collectible steelbook case.
