About The Bard’s Tale IV:
The original The Bard’s Tale was a surprise hit in 1985, putting Interplay on the map and launching the career of Brian Fargo.

The Bard’s Tale IV features labyrinths and dungeons chock-full of dangerous traps, puzzles, and challenges, as well as the winding streets of the city of Skara Brae and its outlying environments. Exploration will take place in the first-person dungeon crawler style of the original trilogy. The story of The Bard’s Tale IV centers on a new Skara Brae built upon the ruins of the old, returning familiar gameplay concepts such as No-Magic Zones and Magic Mouths.
