Fans of Dungeons & Dragons universe have eagerly anticipated the release of Dark Alliance for quite some time. This game, set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, allows players to take on the role of one of four available heroes in an open world setting, a premise full of promise. This is especially exciting for Xbox Game Pass users, as the game is available to them right from launch.
D&D: Dark Alliance is designed to be a modern RPG experience, with a third-person perspective, an open world, a variety of abilities and skills for different character classes, and more. While it serves as a reboot of the 2021 title of the same name and a sequel to Baldur's Gate, it brings a whole new level of technical innovation. The game offers co-operative multiplayer gameplay, currently only online, and supports crossplay between Xbox and Windows platforms (with the possibility of connecting to other platforms in the future). Fans of the universe will also appreciate its ties to the novels by R.A. Salvatore, particularly The Crystal Shard.
For Xbox Game Pass subscribers, the game is available at no additional cost. Otherwise, the regular price is $39.99, equivalent to three months of Game Pass subscription. If you are a Windows or Xbox player, this game may entice you to subscribe to Game Pass and gain access to Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, along with many other titles.
Will Nintendo Switch Owners Ever Get Genshin Impact?
Despite being available on various platforms such as mobile devices, PCs, and other game consoles, Genshin Impact has yet to arrive on Nintendo Switch. The reasons for this delay remain unclear, leading to speculations that the game may never make its way to the platform.
While it was announced in January 2020 that developers were working on bringing the game to Nintendo Switch, as of May 2021, this goal has not been achieved. Some attribute the delay to the Switch's underwhelming performance capabilities. However, Genshin Impact runs smoothly on less powerful mobile devices with touchscreen controls, raising doubts about this explanation.
Considering that Genshin Impact receives frequent updates, it is possible that the game's requirements may exceed the capabilities of some devices over time. If a similar scenario is anticipated for the Nintendo Switch, it might not be feasible to release the game on the platform. Instead, there is a possibility that Genshin Impact will debut on the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro, potentially serving as a major selling point for the enhanced console. While the Switch Pro is already highly anticipated, the addition of Genshin Impact could further boost its appeal to potential buyers.
