“The Temple of Elemental Evil” D&D Video Game Returns to Steam

Get ready to journey back to the classic world of Greyhawk, as the beloved Dungeons & Dragons video game, The Temple of Elemental Evil, is making a comeback. The 2003 CRPG, developed by the now-defunct Troika Games, is being re-released on Steam in September 2025 by publisher SNEG.

This re-release is more than just a simple port. SNEG, a publisher that specializes in restoring classic games, has given the title a digital renovation. The new version will include:

• Enhanced visuals: The game has been updated to look better on modern screens.
• Technical tweaks: The game has been optimized to run smoothly on modern PCs, addressing many of the bugs that plagued the original release.
• 3.5 Edition ruleset: The game is a faithful adaptation of the iconic D&D 3.5e rules, offering a deep and tactical turn-based combat experience that mirrors the tabletop game.

The Temple of Elemental Evil is a significant piece of D&D video game history. It remains the only digital D&D game to use the classic Greyhawk campaign setting, and it was one of the first video games to faithfully implement the 3.5 edition rules. The game allows players to create a custom party of up to five characters and explore a non-linear adventure that starts in the village of Hommlet.

For both nostalgic fans and new players who want to experience a true classic, the re-release of The Temple of Elemental Evil is an exciting opportunity to delve into a piece of D&D’s digital past. You can add it to your Steam wishlist now and prepare for your adventure in September.
