The game is an action role-playing video game set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It features typical races and classes of the Forgotten Realms setting.[2] The game is set in the fictional Sword Coast region of the continent Faerûn on the planet Toril. Graphics are in 3D. One addition to the game is that it allows players to be a "dungeon master" (or DM), as in the tabletop version of Dungeons & Dragons.[3] It features single-player and co-operative multiplayer modes. The game is available on several platforms including Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was released in 2015.[4] The game was directed by Dan Tudge.[5] Inon Zur, who previously led the music development of Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3, composed, produced, and conducted all the music for the game.[6] The music was performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
