VICTORIA, BC - June 27, 2017 - Codename Entertainment is proud to announce Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the world's first idle clicker game set in the celebrated universe of the Forgotten Realms®. The game is the studio's first licensed video game in partnership with Wizards of the Coast LLC, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms will take the player on an epic quest throughout the fabled Sword Coast. Newcomers to the world of Dungeons & Dragons will learn about their new home through the game. Seasoned fans will have the opportunity to revisit popular storylines and even learn new knowledge as they play.



Force Grey fans will also discover familiar characters in the game at launch. Two of the starting ten Champions are taken from the popular series.

From launch, the game will feature scheduled updates every month, with new campaigns and regular events, including the recently announced Tomb of Annihilation adventure.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms will be available on PC in Q3 2017.
