Experience The Bard’s Tale IV: Director’s Cut on PS4s Next Month

The Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep launched late in 2018 on PC, but now a director’s cut is on the way. InXile Entertainment revealed The Bard’s Tale IV: Director’s Cut earlier in 2019 and recently unveiled an impending release date for the new edition. It will launch digitally on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on August 27, 2019. Additionally, inXile plans to release a physical version on September 6th for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For players who already own the game on PCs, the Director’s Cut will be available to access free of charge.

This version of the title will come jam packed with a whole host of new features, many of which are inspired by direct feedback from the game’s original launch. A wide variety of fixes and additional content has also been added to the experience, ensuring the Director’s Cut represents the “truly definitive” version of The Bard’s Tale IV.
