Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Eye of the Beholder, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun: all D&D fans will soon be able to find a complete pack on PC with classics of the genre.
Fans of the universe of Dungeons & Dragons have been rather spoiled over the years in video games. The father of role-playing has been adapted several times in many versions, and especially from the 80s in the emblematic golden box games, the “Gold Box” collection.
This suite of games, based on the Gold Box Engine and distributed at the time by EA, allowed role-players to access the license in a digital version with the Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance and the Krynn saga, the Pool of Radiance series, the Buck Rogers series and obviously the best known game: the MMORPG Neverwinter Nights.
Even decades after their release, the Gold Box games are considered by many to be iconic digital Dungeons & Dragons experiences. and they practically defined computer RPGs. Today, I’m thrilled to be able to fulfill our dream of bringing these RPG gems back to PC gamers on Steam while bringing them to a new audience! – Oleg Klapovskiy, director of SNEG
