Venture into Worlds of Aria, a chaotic cooperative game inspired by D&D

Dungeons & Dragons has been beloved in the gaming world since the TTRPG’s inception in the 80s, to Eddie Munson leading a campaign against Vecna ​​in Stranger Things, to Baldur’s Gate 3 guiding you around the Sword Coast, the concept continues to thrive. The Worlds of Aria is an all-new cooperative adventure that brings tabletop gaming into the virtual world, blending the two to create a truly chaotic D&D-inspired experience.

Worlds of Aria is set to launch on Nintendo Switch later this year, hot on the heels of its PC release, and you’ll be tasked with saving the kingdom from a rogue duke while deciding whether to team up to take down enemies or conspire against your own party members. Throughout your majestic adventures or rogue misadventures, Worlds of Aria is narrated by the incredible Laura Bailey of The Last of Us Part II and Critical Role fame, meaning you’ll be getting a true Dungeons and Dragons experience.

So, you wake up. You’re bound by ropes in the middle of a demonic ritual, about to be sacrificed by faceless enemies. What do you do? It’s the question that keeps coming up, and with multiple endings to discover and a whole bunch of different paths to take, you’ll be able to customize Worlds of Aria when it launches on Switch later this year.

You can embark on a solo mission to save the kingdom, or team up with three other players to form a party and venture into the world of the tabletop game, rolling dice, collecting legendary treasures, and overcoming all the dangers that may come your way. If you’ve ever wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons without having to interact with other human beings, then this is the game for you (honestly, we’ve all been there, sometimes you just want to adventure from the comfort of your couch).

Worlds of Aria comes from French developer Ludogram, who you may know as the indie studio behind SeriePlay, an immersive choice-based series for mobile. The studio is also working on Firebird, a visual novel exploring Slavic folklore, so if you’re looking for a gripping narrative and plenty of choices (and consequences to your actions), then be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Worlds of Aria’s release on Switch later this year.
