Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, the Dungeons & Dragons RPG first released in 2001, launches on Steam and GOG on November 6, 2026. Publisher SNEG is bringing the game to Windows PC with fixes for modern systems, and a demo is already available on Steam.

According to PC Gamer, this is the first time the game has been sold digitally. It was originally developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Ubisoft.

What the new release adds

The Steam store page lists a long set of changes over the original:

  • Runs smoothly on modern hardware, with many of the original bugs fixed
  • Widescreen support up to 4K and sharper visuals
  • A reworked interface with an action bar and tooltips
  • Adjustable combat animation speed and an optional turn timer
  • Full controller support and reworked camera control
  • An optional “Legacy” mode that keeps the original gameplay and visuals

Most of these changes can be switched on or off in the settings, so players can choose how close to the 2001 experience they want to stay. RPGamer reports that progress from the Steam demo carries over to the full game.

The game itself

Ruins of Myth Drannor is a turn based party RPG set in the Forgotten Realms. Players build a party of up to six heroes, four created at the start and two recruited along the way, and head into the abandoned elven city of Myth Drannor to stop a newly found Pool of Radiance from spreading evil. Combat follows Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rules, according to RPGamer, and the store page promises more than ninety spells.

The Steam listing names English as the only language with full audio. French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Traditional Chinese get translated interface text and subtitles. The minimum requirements call for 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11.

When SNEG first announced its batch of classic PC reissues, director Artem Shchuiko said, as quoted by PC Gamer, “We believe these games deserve to be available again.”

What it means for players

The original release had a rough reputation. PC Gamer recalls it as buggy and overshadowed by Baldur’s Gate, which makes the bug fixes and modern interface the main reasons to look again. The free demo is the easiest way to judge whether those fixes are enough before buying.

A price has not been announced on Steam or GOG at the time of writing. The game is listed for Windows only, with no console version announced.
