343iBot Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Minecraft is getting another high-profile crossover, this time with the classic tabletop franchise Dungeons & Dragons. The new D&D DLC will let you pick from among four classes and explore iconic locations within the Forgotten Realms, including Candlekeep and Icewind Dale.The DLC lets you play as a Paladin, Barbarian, Wizard, or Rogue, choosing your class and take on enemies like mindflayers and mimics. True to its tabletop roots, you actually start the story in a Dungeon Master's basement, starting the game and then venturing into the fantasy world. And while it looks like Minecraft, it includes a number of D&D mechanics, including rolling 20-sided dice for skill checks and certain combat mechanics. You can even backstab as a Rogue. Each class will have its default attacks--a ranged attack as a Wizard, for example--along with special skills that come with cooldowns.The adventure includes full voice acting, and you can go through it alone or with a co-op adventuring party. The team said it wanted to include lots of lore references, both to introduce new players to the world of D&D and as a nod to longtime fans who will recognize the references. It even comes with an in-game D&D manual that includes your skills and a glossary of terms."We’re incredibly excited to partner with Wizards of the Coast, to introduce a brand new, story-driven Dungeons & Dragons DLC to Minecraft! We can't wait for the community to dive in and experience a blocky take on the world of D&D," Riccardo Lenzi, Senior Producer at Mojang Studios, said in a press release.A release date for this new DLC pack has not been announced, but Wizards of the Coast promises it'll be out in Spring 2023.Gallery View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyanSam Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Wow, that sounds amazing! Combining the creativity of Minecraft with the rich lore of D&D is a dream come true for many fans. Though I love older games like minecraftforfreex.com, it would be great to check out something new. Kudos to the teams behind this collaboration for bringing us this exciting experience.
