As a sequel to two great local co-op games, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and Dark Alliance 2, the third, simply titled Dark Alliance, has a local multiplayer option. It was a little odd that there wasn't. Back in the day, anyone who played the first two games probably ran around with friends killing rats and marveling at the impressive water. The original game was recently re-released on consoles, but it won't be available on PC until later this year.

It just seems a little odd that Dark Alliance is online-only for co-op play, but thankfully that will change soon after launch. As announced in the developer stream and then again on Twitter, Dark Alliance will eventually allow local, or "couch" co-op play.

"After Dark Alliance launches, our top priority is to support two-player split-screen couch co-op on the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC. We are gearing up for the first free DLC this summer," the tweet reads.

Dark Alliance itself is only a few weeks away, due out on June 22, and is set in D&D's wintery Icewind Dale region, where you may have fought in Icewind Dale and its sequels. Fraser described the game as "D&D for the impatient."
