Multiple Dungeons & Dragons games have seen re-releases as Enhanced Editions over the last few years, such as Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment, and Neverwinter Nights.
Now a SteamDB listing has shown up for Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition. Neverwinter Nights 2 was a sequel to Bioware’s hit title, but was developed by Obsidian and released in 2006 to mixed reviews, but did receive three expansions with Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir and Mysteries of Westgate, and these were received much better than the base game.
Interestingly, while the previous Enhanced Editions were handled by Beamdog, the listing seems to indicate that this release will be handled by Aspyr, who previously handled remasters of Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II, which were developed by Bioware and Obsidian respectively.
You can see a description of Neverwinter Nights 2 from GOG below.
Bards sing tales of heroes in ages past, but they rarely mention those that are yet to become heroes. One such hero is a farmer in the small village of West Harbor. Raised by the elven ranger, Daeghun, as his own child, our hero will embark on a grandiose quest against the King of Shadows. Neverwinter Nights 2 is the tale of his deeds. His adventures continue in Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. Our protagonist discovers that an ominous spell has fallen on him. A curse of perpetual hunger–one which can only be quelled by consuming the souls of spirits. In order to remove the curse, he has to travel to the Shadow Realm, which harbors dark secrets and tormented souls.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir gives as a breather from grand quests of destiny and epic ordeals. You simply assemble a group of four adventurers (either by carefully picking out each of their statistics and skills or by randomly re-rolling your characters until you find the ones that suit you) and go where the wind takes you. Just make sure to get a good look at the map as you will need it to explore the wide open region of Samarach and the Sword Coast. Then, yet another adventure: in an ancient and forgotten tomb you found an unusual mask. It made you quite powerful but changed your life into a living nightmare. Strange, terrifying visions torment your psyche. Every time you try to get rid of the accursed mask, it secretly makes its way back to you. There’s just one solution: set sail for Westgate and discover the secret of the Night Masks in Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate.
Use all the wicked spells, feats, and prestige classes from the D&D 3.5 rules. Create your characters any way you wish, choosing from a wide variety of races and subraces, such as Tiefling and Aasimar. As if the pre-made campaigns weren’t enough, you can take the reins and use the powerful Obsidian Neverwinter Nights 2 Toolset to make your own adventures and share them with friends!
