Sword Coast Legends Delayed Again

Sword Coast Legends has been delayed again. While the D&D CRPG was originally slated to release on PC, Mac and Linux on September 8 and was then delayed to September 29, the title is now slated for an October 20 release. Furthermore, console players will have to wait until Q1 2016 to get their hands on the title.

According to the developers, the delay wasn’t an easy decision to make, but feedback from the “Head Start” players convinced them it was the right one:

SWORD COAST LEGENDS NEW LAUNCH DATES

ORLANDO, Fla. September 22, 2015 Independent developers, n-Space and Digital Extremes, announced today that Sword Coast Legendsâ„¢, a party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast has a new release date. Sword Coast Legends is now scheduled to launch for PC, Mac, & Linux on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions now scheduled for release in Q1 2016.

Following a successful Head Start access program for Sword Coast Legends, over 15 thousand players have logged thousands of hours of playtime, clearing dungeons and taking advantage of the title’s powerful Dungeon Master campaign creation features to create a wealth of customized adventures. Based on player feedback, n-Space plans to focus efforts on polish to provide players with the best possible experience at launch.

“When we set out to create Sword Coast Legends we wanted to give players an exciting new way to experience the magic of playing D&D with friends,” said Dan Tudge, President of n-Space and Director for Sword Coast Legends. “The decision to delay the launch of Sword Coast Legends was not an easy one to make, but after receiving feedback from our dedicated community, it became clear that a few more weeks of polish would provide our customers with the best possible experience at launch.”

As a special thanks to committed adventurers and Dungeon Masters, all players who pre-ordered Sword Coast Legends whether they participated in the recent bonus Head Start access program or not will receive the upcoming “Rage of Demons” DLC for free in addition to access to any upcoming Head Start access programs.
