Dungeons & Dragons Online Update 28 Preview and Screenshots

Turbine is preparing to release a new Update 28: Devil’s Gambit content patch for Dungeons & Dragons Online next month, with players already having the opportunity to test it out on the Lamannia server. That’s led to a hypothetical preview on DDO Gamer to go along with screenshot teases on the official DDO Facebook feed here, here, and here. From the preview:

At first glance, that frog-devil (is it a Slaad?) looks like it might be an all-new monster model. Except on closer review I think not; I think it is a Hezrou with a new skin. I hope it is a new model, new models rock! But I think probably not.

Another interesting development is the inclusion of the Rakshasa, as they are not devils at all, but rather demons. Aren’t Slaads also demons? I forget. Abishai are devils, for sure, meaning we have demons and devils appearing to to work together in the new update? That can’t last. Or maybe this is Turbine throwing us some kind of a red herring?

Yes, it is a Slaad.
