This is probably going to make some people mad.

The Bard’s Tale series is coming back, yes. If you’re a die-hard fan of PC RPGs, odds are that you cut your teeth on Bard’s Tale, with its seemingly endless dungeons and open-ended gameplay and parties of six adventurers who probably found whole new ways to meet horrible deaths.

The new Bard’s Tale is here… and it uses a modified version of the Champions of Norrath engine, which in turn is a modified version of the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance engine.

I’ll give you a moment to stop frothing, and/or spontaneously combusting.
