Dungeons-and-Dragons-Daggerdale posts

Dungeon and Dragons: Daggerdale looks fun, even if the setting is a bit on the generic side. This particular trailer shows the tower of a dark being known as Rezlok (we're not entirely sure how it is spelled), and various dungeon-like areas for the players to fight their way through. Nothing particularly stunning, but it's not bad for what is essentially a cinematic trailer done through the in-game engine.

Atari is the latest game publisher to reveal its financial numbers. The company announced that for the nine month period that ended on December 31, 2010 it had 41 million euros in revenues. While that's a decline of 55.7 percent compared to the same period a year ago Atari said those results were within its expectations.

Atari's latest game, the open world driving title Test Drive Unlimited 2, was released last week. It has a number of downloadable PC games due out in the next few months including remakes of Star Raiders and Yars Revenge along with Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale and Ghostbusters Sanctum of Slime. It's next major retail game release will be The Witcher 2 in mid-May.

Last year publisher Atari announced plans to release Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale, a downloadable RPG that's due out later this spring. Now Eurogamer is reporting that the game is being designed as the first title in a possible trilogy of games.

The game itself goes up to the first 10 levels of the pen-and-paper 4th Edition of the D&D role playing game franchise and any continuations would move to to level 20 for the second game and level 30 for the third game. According to Zandro Chan of the game's developer Bedlam Games, " .. you will be able to carry characters forward" through the final two parts. However there's no guarantee that a trilogy of games will in fact be made with Chan saying that the team will "have to see how things pan out"

Dungeons and Dragons has never seen a really good third-person action game, but with Daggerdale, that looks like it's about to change. Set in the Forgotten Realms location of Daggerdale (big surprise there), the game involves gathering your friends together to massacre skeletons, goblins, golems, and other nasty creatures. This trailer shows off both gameplay and cinematics, and it's definitely a beautiful-looking game. Our interest is piqued, if just because the genre of deliberate third-person action games is one that does not see much play on the PC.

Publisher Atari has just announced yet another downloadable game project and this time its part of its Dungeons and Dragons license. Developer Bedlam Games is working on Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale for release in the spring of 2011.

The actio-RPG title has The Forgotten Realms under attack by "the evil Rezlus and his Zhentarim" (we hate when that happens) and naturally your band of adventurers have to save the day. The game will feature both single player as well as co-op support for up to four players. Atari has already announced plans to release a number of downloadable games in 2011 including remakes of Star Raiders and Yar's Revenge along with a new Ghostbusters game.
