Neverwinter Nights 2 Expansion Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the kill-the-monsters-take-their-stuff-rinse-repeat dept.

Next Generation is reporting Atari's announcement of an expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2 entitled Mask of the Betrayer. "Mask of the Betrayer will put players back into the Forgotten Realms (of Dungeons & Dragons fame) shortly after the events of the original Neverwinter Nights 2. The expansion will incorporate a new campaign, more feats and spells, races, weapons, monsters and enhanced modding tools, among other new features. Developer Obsidian Entertainment, the same studio behind the original Neverwinter Nights 2 and 2004's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, will be handling development of Mask of the Betrayer."

    I know they're working on it, but they won't have access to all the original voice files, even if they can access some of the old ones stored in the game. Nor will it hit X-Box. It's an admirable effort, but I'd really like to Obsidian go back and finish it properly a la The Lost Chapters.

    Admittedly this is a bit of self-promotion, but the first module of the Dark Waters campaign should be posted on the Vault tomorrow. It has lots of custom content, voice acting, scripting system, and hopefully a fun little storyline. For people impatient for the expansion, this might tide them over.
