Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is an upcoming third-person action role-playing video game developed and published by Tuque Games. It is the third main game in the Dark Alliance series, itself based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system, and is a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II.[1][2] Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is slated for release on PC and consoles in fall 2020.[1][2][3][4][5]

In March 2019, Tuque Games announced that it was developing a Dungeons & Dragons game in partnership with Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast then acquired Tuque Games in October 2019.[6]

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance was officially announced with a teaser trailer shown during The Game Awards 2019 on December 12, 2019.[7] It is set in the tundra region of Icewind Dale,[2][4] and will feature 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.[1][2][3][4] The game will include 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.[1] The multiplayer mode will allow for split-screen local co-op or online co-op for up to four players.[8][2]
