The definitive edition of The Bard’s Tale IV from inXile entertainment arrives today on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC with Xbox Game Pass! The studio founded by Brian Fargo – an Xbox Game Studios alum — invites you to return to Skara Brae to defeat a newly awakened evil.

The Director’s Cut features hours of additional content, thousands of fixes and tweaks, and new features and accessibility options to make it the truly definitive edition of The Bard’s Tale IV. In addition, it arrives as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, allowing you to pick up and play on your Xbox One, and then continue that same save on your Windows 10 PC.

The Director’s Cut expands on the original 2018 release with:

• A new end-game chapter that adds hours of additional content
