If you’re a fan of fantasy RPGs such as Dragon Age: Origins, then you’ll be happy to know that the upcoming D&D game from n-Space and Digital Extremes, Sword Coast Legends, will have the same composer as many of the staples of the genre.
Two-time winning BAFTA nominated composer Inon Zur (Icewind Dale II, Baldur’s Gate: Throne of Bhaal) will be in charge of the music for the new game, set within the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe by Wizards of the Coast. This would seem to be a great fit for the composer, as his history with providing power orchestrations within similar games such as EverQuest makes him a great fit. The game’s music has been recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra with Zur at the helm.
“Throughout his career, Inon’s music has been integral to many of the game industry’s most memorable experiences and has raised the bar on what we expect from a video game score today. His ability to capture the player’s experience through his music is second to none,” said Dan Tudge, President of n-Space and Director of Sword Coast Legends. “It’s wonderful to see Inon return to Dungeons & Dragons and the Forgotten Realms setting, where I’m confident our deep story, compelling characters, and rich environments will inspire one of Inon’s most memorable works to date.”

A master of creating powerful melodic orchestrations that simply ooze fantasy-adventure feel to them, fans of the Dungeons & Dragon games can bet on good things coming for Sword Coast Legends.
Sword Coast Legends will be on sale for PC later this year, and is currently on pre-order for Steam for $34.99, along with digital deluxe and collectors editions. For more on Inon Zur’s musical repertoire, you can check out his website or follow him through social media.
