Remember Neverwinter Nights 2? That classic D&D game from Obsidian? Well, after 19 long years, it looks like we might finally be getting a proper re-release! It's been a long time coming. And while nothing's officially confirmed yet, some seriously interesting clues have surfaced that point to an upcoming Enhanced Edition on Steam.
We saw the original Neverwinter Nights get a fantastic Enhanced Edition, breathing new life into a beloved game. Now, it seems like Neverwinter Nights 2 is getting the same treatment. A SteamDB page for "Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition" has popped up, and it's been getting some updates recently. Things like achievement languages, genre tags (RPG, dungeon crawler, you know the drill), all the usual stuff you'd expect to see on a Steam page. It definitely looks like something's brewing.
While this is super exciting, we shouldn't get too hyped just yet. It's entirely possible this is just a placeholder, or something that's still in the early stages. But, the fact that it exists at all? That's a good sign.
So, who's behind this potential remaster? Beamdog, the folks who did the first Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition, would be the obvious guess. They've also worked on the Baldur's Gate remasters, so they've got the experience. However, the SteamDB page is showing some interesting info. It seems like Aspyr, the studio behind the recent Tomb Raider remasters, might actually be at the helm. They even did a Mac port of Neverwinter Nights 2 way back in 2008! A bit of a twist, right?
Even more interesting? There's an End User License Agreement link on the SteamDB page, and it leads straight to Aspyr's EULA. Some sharp-eyed users over on the r/rpg_gamers subreddit spotted this. So, while it's still not 100% confirmed, it definitely strengthens the Aspyr theory.
If you're itching for some more fantasy RPG goodness, check out those lists of the best dragon games and best MMORPGs. Plenty to keep you busy while we wait for more news on this. Fingers crossed we'll be adventuring in the world of Neverwinter Nights 2 again soon!
