Atari has announced the development of the next chapter in the Neverwinter Nights saga, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. The expansion pack will feature interesting new campaigns, epic levels and new companions.
Neverwinter Nights 2 – Mask of the Betrayer Overview:
- In Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, gamers are transported back to the Forgotten Realms shortly after the events detailed in the original Neverwinter Nights 2. Following the climactic battle against the King of Shadows, the gamer awakens unaccompanied and stranded deep beneath the earth. Surrounded by a horde of evil spirits, the gamer embarks on an epic adventure that reveals his true destiny.
Set in harsh, spirit-rich Rashemen, near the powerful nation of Thay, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer will present players with an thrilling new campaign; epic levels; dozens of new feats and spells; new races, base classes and prestige classes; new companions; new weapons, armor and crafting options; packs of new monsters; and improved modding tools.
Feargus Urquhart, CEO, Obsidian Entertainment says, “Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer’s engrossing campaign will finish the storyline that began in the original Neverwinter Nights 2 and focus on combat, exploration and classic D&D dungeon-crawling. We’re also making new advances in story and character development as well as improving upon the much-admired companion Influence System used in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2.”
Nique Fajors, VP, Sales, Marketing, Atari stated, “Atari’s commitment to the Neverwinter Nights franchise and the enormous community is strong. We are on track to release the Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack this fall, less than one year since the launch of Obsidian’s exceptional sequel, and are confident the new features will deliver a role-playing experience that further engages and satisfies fans.”
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer has been developed by Obsidian Entertainment and is expected to release for the PC in Fall 2007.
