Atari and Obsidian Entertainment today announced that the official web site for the highly-anticipated Neverwinter Nights 2

Neverwinter Nights 2 developed by Obsidian Entertainment for the Windows platform and set for a September 2006 release, Neverwinter Nights 2 is set in the popular DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® Forgotten Realms universe created by Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. and will transport players back to the embattled city of Neverwinter. 

Neverwinter Nights 2 will continue the tradition and set new standards in the role-playing genre (RPG) with an even deeper and more engrossing storyline, tremendously immersive character development, stunning graphics and an expansive multiplayer experience like none before it.

Neverwinter Nights 2 Product Highlights:

The player’s journey not only expands their personal power, but also their political power.  The protagonist rises through the ranks of Neverwinter society and can even become a lesser noble of Neverwinter – a full knight with land and title.  The player lords over a mighty stronghold, he commands a small army and he is the last line of defence for Neverwinter itself.

 Cities Are Alive – The cradles of civilization are teeming with life.  Children play through the street, farmers lead their animals around and passers-by walk on their mysterious business.  Players will even stumble upon numerous one-time events, such as a thief robbing a commoner.  In addition, frequented locations, such as the city of Neverwinter itself, will change rather dramatically between chapters.

Epic Battles A number of new and exciting boss battles feature in the game.  There will be plenty of creatures that simply require brute force to defeat, but strategically placed throughout the story are a few more memorable boss battles that will provide defining game moments.  This variety will ensure that epic key boss battles will be more challenging, more memorable, and most importantly, more entertaining.

So what do you wait for?
