Thanks in no small part to Baldur’s Gate 3 last year, D&D appears to be very much in at the moment (finally). We have seen a few games take advantage of this new-found interest on Switch in recent months and developer Ludogram Games looks to be joining them with Worlds of Aria.
This fantasy co-op adventure launched on Steam back in September but will be making the jump over to Switch on 23rd January 2025. It looks to offer a more accessible entry point into the world of D&D, but it still has all the hallmarks of choose-your-own-adventure dice rolling to ensure that no newcomers miss out too much.
To really hammer home the traditional experience, Worlds of Aria’s campaign can be taken on either solo or with up to three pals in local and online co-op (yes, there’s even crossplay), and the game’s narration is provided by Critical Role and The Last of Us star Laura Bailey.
You’ll find a list of the game’s features and a handful of screenshots below:
