A forgotten dungeon crawler from the Baldur’s Gate era is coming to Steam and GOG for the first time ever
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, a dungeon crawler from 2001 that never quite captured the magic of its contemporaries like Baldur’s Gate, is being revived through a digital re-release on Steam and GOG later this year.
Originally launched during the height of the isometric D&D gaming renaissance, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor failed to achieve critical or commercial success despite riding the wave of interest in the genre. The game faded into relative obscurity, remembered primarily by devoted genre enthusiasts rather than gaining broader recognition or affection among players.
SNEG is bringing the forgotten title back for its first-ever digital distribution, marking a potential second chance for a game that many had written off. While details about the re-release remain limited at this stage, the move represents a growing trend in game preservation, as publishers and developers look to rescue titles from obscurity and make them accessible to modern audiences through contemporary digital platforms.
For fans of classic dungeon crawlers and those curious about gaming history from the early 2000s, this re-release offers an opportunity to experience a piece of the era that helped define Western RPGs, even if it was overshadowed at the time.
