The first volume in The Bard’s Tale Trilogy arrives on Steam and GOG.com for PC on Aug. 14, with the remaining volumes launching later this year

The folks over at inXile Entertainment, the studio led by Interplay founder Brian Fargo, has announced The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, a complete remaster of the legendary series that helped define the RPG genre.

Featuring updated graphics and optional quality-of-life gameplay features, The Bard’s Tale Trilogy is the ideal way to experience the dungeon crawling challenge that made the original games beloved classics.

Features of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy include:

Remasters of all three original The Bard’s Tale games. The first volume, Tales of the Unknown, is available at launch, with The Destiny Knight (fall 2018) and Thief of Fate (winter 2018) arriving later in the year.

A uniform playing experience across all three titles without the need for emulation or compatibility concerns.
Create a party in the first volume and play it across all three volumes to create a heroic narrative all your own.
For the first time, play as male or female across all three games. Also includes other quality-of-life changes such as automapping for all three games, spell access, and updated equipment/inventory management.
Updated art that holds true to the spirit of the originals, featuring never-before-used character art by series creator Michael Cranford!
An opportunity for new players to experience the events that led to The Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep and The Mage’s Tale!
The final content to be released will be a Legacy Mode, a set of options which allows players to make the titles play similarly to the 1980s originals… with all the challenge that entails!
