Atari Announces Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale For Spring 2011

A downloadable hack-and-slash that centers around the struggle to defeat "the evil Rezlus and his Zhentarim."

Hey, guys, do you want to take part in the epic struggle "to defeat the evil Rezlus and his Zhentarim" in the Dungeons & Dragons universe? Great! You'll get to do just that Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale, a downloadable hack-and-slash title set for release in Spring 2011 on XBLA, PSN, and PC.

Scratch: The Ultimate DJ developer Bedlam Games is the creating this next D&D title, which is said to support both online and local co-op for up to four players. Publisher Atari's page on the game confirms the usual fantasy stuff for Daggerdale. Expect underground lairs, magic casting, loot, quests, a deep character creation component, and a "riveting narrative."
 
Perhaps the most important detail we've learned since reading over the press materials is actually not mentioned in the press materials at all. Daggerdale will have skeletons. The evil, walking kind. Get your first look in the trailer just below.
