Sword Coast Legends gets its free Rage of Demons DLC — weeks after N-Space shuts down (update)

Wizards of the Coast said in March that Sword Coast Legends would still get its Rage of Demons free downloadable content despite shutting down the N-Space development house. Today, it delivered on that promise.

The Dungeons & Dragons publisher released its latest video game tie-in to the Rage of Demons storyline today. The 4GB update brings a host of new features to the role-playing game, including a new character race (the Tiefling, a humanoid with a demonic bloodline) and class (the Warlock, a magic user who draws on the power of otherworldly beings like devils). It also includes “hours of new content,” as the press release states, and new tools for the Dungeon Master adventure building toolset. Updates such as these are essential for keeping players engaged in the $99 billion gaming market, and as Wizards of the Coast and many others have learned, they’re also effective vehicles for promoting a story over various forms of media.
