Publisher SNEG has announced a modern re-release for The Temple of Elemental Evil, the classic Dungeons and Dragons RPG by Troika Games.
The Temple of Elemental Evil is coming to modern PCs via Steam sometime this fall, in September.
The new re-release was announced days after SNEG also confirmed a Steam release for Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone and Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard.
Here’s a rundown on the classic game:
The Temple of Elemental Evil was first released in 2003 and has since garnered a passionate community around it. Over the years, fans have added a lot to the game and kept it alive in ways we really admire. This version builds on that work, and we’re genuinely thankful to everyone who’s helped along the way.
An evil demoness founded a cult dedicated to exploring evil in its most elemental forms. This cult was based in a temple just outside the village of Hommlet in a vile shire known as Nulb. Soon, this cult ruled the region with tyranny; times of chaos and violence ensued. Hard-fought battles were waged and the war was eventually won by the good armies of nearby lands. The temple was razed, the villains were imprisoned, and order was restored. The temple itself faded into distant memory…until now.
