All of Sword Coast Legends’ future DLC will be free

N-Space has announced plans to revamp its DLC plan for Sword Coast Legends, as all of the game’s future content updates will be free of charge.

Game Director Dan Tudge explained in a statement that while n-Space is proud of the work it has done with the base Sword Coast Legends game, it also acknowledges that early impressions of the game have been “polarizing,” claiming that it sees that the game didn’t meet as many people’s expectations as it would’ve liked.

I have just one thing to say: ‘We hear you,’” says Tudge. “We are a very small, independent development team, and we would not have made it this far without you. We thank you for your continued support. In D&D, the party is everything, and you are the best party to have, by far.”

Tudge goes on to explain that n-Space’s intention moving forward with Sword Coast Legends is to work with the community to improve the overall experience, and to do this it will be releasing all future DLC at no extra cost to those who own the base game.

Here are n-Space’s first announced new content packs, all of which will be free to all players upon launch:
