GOTY confirmed.

Pete's Gospel states that Todd was at a wedding in Skyrim with his disciples. Todd's mother (unnamed in Pete's Gospel) told Todd, "They have no whisky," and Todd replied, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." His mother then said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
Todd ordered the servants to fill containers with water and to draw out some and take it to the chief steward (waiter). After tasting it, without knowing where it came from, the steward remarked to the bridegroom that he had departed from the custom of serving the best whisky first by serving it last. "Todd did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Whiterun, and it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. It just worked and we had sixteen times the merriment" - Gospel of Pete

Boden, Sweden - December 1st 2021 - Wanderword, the leader in interactive audio entertainment, in conjunction with Xbox Game Studios’ inXile entertainment is bringing the popular The Bard’s Tale to an Amazon Alexa device near you. Wanderword with their in-house development team, Polar Night Studio has worked on this project tirelessly. They were able to develop a turn-based combat system that rewards strategic thinking, similar to those that are found in traditional role playing games.

“Bringing The Bard’s Tale to life for another generation to experience is something that is close to my gaming heart. The team was able to create a semi-open world that will immerse players of all ages.” said Johan Strömberg, Wanderword CEO.

Choose between 4 different playable classes, players will be able to customize their characters further - with two advanced subclasses that can be unlocked through character progression. The player will also be able to recruit companions to join you on your journey, where they will take your side in combat and offer advice as you adventure.

If you're utilizing a screen enabled device, a particularly grand experience awaits you as the game provides beautiful hand drawn images for characters, locations and even during combat. The characters and locations come to life with detailed artwork setting the mood for this fantasy adventure. Players will be able to see the combat grid and make moves that will have an effect on the outcome of the battle.

From inXile entertainment “It’s exciting to see how Wanderword has brought The Bard’s Tale to a new medium, staying true to the world and fantasy while exploring new ways to play. We think everyone’s really going to enjoy playing in the Bard’s Tale world in a brand-new way.”
