[Update: The Nintendo Switch release of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance has been rescheduled for May 20, 2021. Black Isle called the delay "an unfortunate set of circumstances out of our control."]
There's a new Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance on the way, and today, Black Isle and Interplay have released a re-release of the classic Baldur's Gate variation of Dark Alliance. It's out now on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, but the Nintendo Switch version has hit a snag.
On Twitter, Black Isle Studios posted a statement saying that "due to unforeseen issues," it would be delaying Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance's Switch launch for a few days. "We're incredibly sorry about this and we're working hard to remedy this as quickly as possible."
Hey all,

Due to an unforeseen issue on the Nintendo Switch store, weâre going to have to delay the launch for a few days to fix it.
Weâre incredibly sorry about this and weâre working hard to remedy this as quickly as possible.

The re-release of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance has higher resolution graphics, though it will still have the classic hack-and-slash action of the original. It will also have the ability to adventure with a friend, a key piece of the original Dark Alliance's appeal.
The only thing better than dungeon crawling and looting is doing so with a pal. Hopefully the Switch version snafu can get fixed up soon.
