Today, the first phase of Dragonheir: Silent Gods' collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons, the classic fantasy tabletop game, was officially launched.
Iconic Dungeons & Dragons' characters, Drizzt Do'Urden and his comrade Guenhwyvar, as well as their nemesis Errtu the Balor, have now joined Dragonheir's game world for a limited time.
Dragonheir: Silent Gods, hereinafter referred to as Dragonheir, is an open-world strategy RPG with a fantasy theme, which integrates the classic TRPG gameplay, such as dice rolls, character customization and other features. In order to defeat their opponents, players must engage with strategic combat, combining their adventurer party’s strengths and synergies to unleash powerful magic and merciless steel on monsters of all kinds and sizes.
Through this collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, several iconic Dungeons & Dragons' characters will appear in the fantasy open world of Dragonheir through a series of limited-time in-game events over the next two years that will expand the multiverse with new locations to explore, enemies to slay, and allowing more players to experience the charm of that classic D&D fantasy gameplay.
“We’re thrilled to bring legendary characters from Dungeons & Dragons to Dragonheir: Silent Gods through this unique collaboration with Nuverse and SGRA Studio. Fans are going to enjoy exploring Dragonheir’s vast open world with their favorite D&D characters in this impressive new strategy RPG game.” said Eugene Evans, Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy and Licensing from Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.
In the primary storyline of this collaborative adventure, Erttu, the menacing balor demon who revels in chaos and destruction, will reign havoc on the denizens of Adenthia. To challenge his demonic reign, adventurers must enlist the help of Drizzt Do’Urden, a drow ranger and fabled hero of the North, to hunt down Drizzt's nemesis with the assistance of his comrade black panther Guenhwyvar.
A series of new collaborative events have been launched in Dragonheir and across the community. Players who participate in the activities can summon Drizzt Do'Urden in the Planeswalker Summoning, and have the opportunity to obtain exclusive rewards such as Argent Emerald dice skin, and Heliolite Dice.
Dragonheir: Silent Gods' collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons is now available to play on Mac, Windows, Epic, Steam, iOS and Android platforms. Click here to download the game now and enter IGN exclusive gift code ‘ign1117' to redeem limited rewards. Join D&D Legends in Dragonheir!
