Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
2021 video game
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is a third-person action role-playing game published by Wizards of the Coast and developed by its subsidiary Tuque Games. Based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system, the title of the game alludes to Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II, seeing itself as their spiritual successor, although its story and gameplay are not related to those earlier titles. The game was released in June 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It was delisted from digital storefronts and had its online multiplayer servers shut down on February 24, 2025, though the single-player mode remains accessible to existing owners.
Gameplay
Dark Alliance is set in the tundra region of Icewind Dale, and features characters from R. A. Salvatore’s novel series The Legend of Drizzt, including the four playable characters: Drizzt Do’Urden, Catti-brie, Bruenor Battlehammer, and Wulfgar. The game includes both single-player and multiplayer modes. In the single-player mode, the player can choose any of the four characters to control, and swap between them. The multiplayer mode allows for online co-op for up to four players.
