Infogrames Announces Neverwinter Nights Add-On
Reported by: David Laprad
Infogrames on Wednesday announced that BioWare and FloodGate Entertainment are joining together to expand Neverwinter Nights - the fantasy role-playing game based in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms world created by Wizards of the Coast. Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide is the first official expansion pack and is scheduled for release in the spring of 2003. The add-on will include a new 40-hour single-player campaign as well as features new to Neverwinter Nights.
The pack will also include two new tile sets and other assets for use in the Aurora toolset - which enables amateur module designers to create completely different worlds. The toolset will be augmented with new "Wizards" - automated guides that help gamers build and play adventures of their own creation. Shadows of Undrentide is being co-developed by FloodGate Entertainment - a company made up of developers largely from Looking Glass Studios - and Neverwinter Nights creator BioWare. A second expansion pack with a new Neverwinter Nights campaign and even more features is also in the works for the summer of 2003 and is under development exclusively at BioWare.
