Another classic Dungeons & Dragons video game is making a return to Steam, as SNEG announced this morning that they are bringing back The Temple of Elemental Evil. Following in the news from last week where they revealed two other D&D titles, the team will bring back the Troika Games 2003 title, fully restoring it for modern PC platforms, and giving players a reminder of what the classic 3.5e mechanics were like in video games on the legendary Greyhawk campaign setting. The team gave no release date, but we're guessing based on the other two titles, it will be released before the end of September.

The Temple of Elemental Evil

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.
