The revival of an action-RPG classic is heading real soon to Nintendo Switch!

A re-relase of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance has been announced for the hybrid platform and will launch on 7th May 2021 via the Switch eShop. The game, featuring enhanced graphics, will cost USD 29.99. A two-player local cooperative play is also supported, as in the original.

Check out the announcement and launch trailer below:

This revival of the original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance puts the ‘action’ back into the action-RPG genre, plunging players into the heart of Faerun. As well as looting and leveling, players must actively defend against and dodge attacks, evade deadly traps and fight hordes of monsters ranging from swarming kobolds to the iconic and all-consuming Gelatinous Cube.

Featuring three customizable heroes, this epic adventure spans dozens of locations across three massive acts, through the dungeons beneath the city of Baldur’s Gate, to the peak of Burning Eye mountain, deep into the Underdark and beyond.

With a PC and mobile launch planned, now’s your time to grab a friend or brave a dungeon alone and explore the western coast of the Forgotten Realms.
