Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have a new album on the way, as Dungeons & Dragons will be getting a 50th Anniversary double vinyl record later this year. The name of the album is Dungeons & Dragons– Bardic Inspiration: A Musical Journey Through the Forgotten Realms and it will be designed to give you a bit of inspiration of your own with music reflecting on the history of the game. While the musical content hasn't really been touched on in terms of genre, we expect this to be more akin to a game soundtrack like you've experienced in the past. The team has boasted of hiring a choir, which instantly made us think of Halo 3. The album will be released later this Fall for $50, as well as in Dolby Atmos and digital formats. We have more info below as we wait for the full details and sample tracks to arrive.
