Enhanced edition of classic Dungeons & Dragons RPG Icewind Dale out now on iOS
A cold wind has blown through the App Store, and it has brought the so-called “enhanced edition” of Icewind Dale.
Announced early last September, Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition was originally scheduled to be launched last week. But its release was delayed due to some CGI cutscenes that Apple’s App Store review team found “objectionable.” Well, the offending content was duly removed and the game was subsequently resubmitted and approved.
Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is, of course, based on the Icewind Dale game first released for Windows in 2000. It’s an RPG set in Wizards of the Coast’s iconic Forgotten Realms campaign in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Specifically, it’s set in the region of ice tundra known as — you guessed it — Icewind Dale.
