Game publisher SNEG recently announced Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard and Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone are coming to Steam with plenty of upgrades.

There's also a Dungeons and Dragons Classics Collection Humble Bundle live with the announcement, where you can get 13 classics from SNEG for £7.40 for the whole lot.

More about each of the re-releases below from the press release.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard

Originally released in 2005, Dragonshard returns in a respectful re-release that quietly modernizes the classic: modern-resolution support, localization-friendly saves and profiles, smoother timers and physics, ASLR compatibility, and other under-the-hood fixes for a cleaner experience on today’s PCs.

  • The first DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® Real-Time Strategy Experience
  • D&D® game from the Eberron campaign setting
  • Game design with two levels of interconnected action: RTS war above ground and critical RPG-styled battles in dungeons below
  • Four ranges of controllable units: powerful champions, heroic captains, trainable henchmen, and nearly unstoppable battlefield juggernauts
  • Unit development based on 'Experience Points', allowing players to "level up" units - an added RPG twist to the classic RTS gameplay structure
  • An innovative village grid system - the "Nexus System" - where choice and placement of buildings can specifically affect units' powers
  • Three warring factions, each with its own history, campaigns, unique strengths... and weaknesses.
  • Game story by Eberron creator Keith Baker
  • A variety of threatening environments, all with the "Hyper Terrain" feature, creating real-time terrain deformation in the wake of unit movements

Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone

First released in 2004, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone returns in a polished re‑release: smoother startup and gameplay, proper widescreen scaling, borderless/windowed modes, optimised shadows, full XInput controller support with rumble and hot‑plugging, adjustable audio, and a new in‑game settings menu for modern PCs.

  • Pick-up-and-play combat: hand-to-hand battles and melee brawls (the fighter), ranged and projectile power (the sorcerer), sexy stealth attacks (the rogue)
  • Sprawling story by N.Y. Times - bestselling author R.A. Salvatore
  • Voice performances by Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan
  • Beautiful, ominous Forgotten Realms environments, from the Gemspark Mines to the Jungles of Chult, to the Underdark and beyond
  • Devastating DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® creatures including Bugbears, Slaadi, and Yuan-tis
  • Expansive range of combo moves, skill upgrades, weapons, armor, and more

The first DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® Real-Time Strategy Experience
I did play Dragonshard, and the game was okay, but why lie here ?
Because Blood & Magic was a D&D RTS release in 96, so that make Dragonshard not the first RTS, and it's kind of weird that the first line of the advertisment is a lie.

Interesting. I've reached out to a press team to see if they can get clarification.
