Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance gets PC release via Steam, Epic, GOG

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, the iconic action RPG classic from the Forgotten Realms setting by Dungeons & Dragons, is finally available on PC – 20 years after it debuted on consoles.

The PC version came over for Linux, Mac, and Windows on Friday steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store

for $ 29.99. This modern reissue of Dark Alliance, from publishers Interplay Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast, debuted seven months ago on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It retains the isometric view and local co-op play of the original Black Isle Studios game while updating the graphics with support for 4K resolution.

Everything fans know and love is there: take a journey into the world of Faerûn and choose a customizable hero from the game’s three characters: Kromlech (dwarven fighter), Vahn (human archer) and Adrianna (elf sorceress). Along the way you fight your way through monsters and traps, learn spells and find loot – travel through numerous locations from the swamps of Chelimber to the sewers under Baldur’s Gate.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance debuted on PlayStation 2 in 2001. Ports were released on Xbox and GameCube in 2002, and on Game Boy Advance in 2003. Dark Alliance was the first Baldur’s Gate game to be launched on consoles instead of a PC – and now it’s finally playable on computers.
