ATARI ANNOUNCES
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS â?¢ 2: MASK OF THE BETRAYER
Expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2 Features Engrossing New Campaign; Epic Levels; New Companions and Much More

NEW YORK â?? April 12, 2006 â?? Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR), one of the worldâ??s most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher, today announced the development of the next chapter in the Neverwinter Nights saga â?? Neverwinter Nightsâ?¢ 2: Mask of the Betrayer. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the expansion to the award-winning Neverwinter Nights 2 is set in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS�® Forgotten Realms�® universe created by Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS). DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is under license from HPG, the licensing division of Hasbro. Neverwinter Nightsâ?¢ 2: Mask of the Betrayer will be available in North America in Fall 2007.

In Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, players 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 player awakens alone and stranded deep beneath the earth. Surrounded by a horde of evil spirits, the player embarks on an epic adventure that reveals his true destiny.

â??Atariâ??s commitment to the Neverwinter Nights franchise and the enormous community is strong,â? said Nique Fajors, Vice President, Sales, Marketing, Atari, Inc. â??We are on track to release the Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack this Fall, less than one year since the launch of Obsidianâ??s outstanding sequel, and are confident the new features will deliver a role-playing experience that further engages and satisfies fans.â?

Set in harsh, spirit-rich Rashemen, near the powerful nation of Thay, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer will present players with an exciting 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; hordes of new monsters; and enhanced modding tools.

â??Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayerâ??s engrossing campaign will conclude the storyline that began in the original Neverwinter Nights 2 and focus on combat, exploration and classic D&D dungeon-crawling,â? said Feargus Urquhart, CEO, Obsidian Entertainment. â??Weâ??re also making new advances in story and character development as well as improving upon the acclaimed companion Influence System used in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2.â?

The Neverwinter Nights franchise has sold more than three million copies worldwide, is translated into 10 languages, sold in more than 40 countries and features one of the largest and most active fan communities in all of gaming. To date, fans of the franchise, which includes Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentideâ?¢ Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdarkâ?¢ and Neverwinter Nights 2 have created more than 5,000 modifications to the original game using the award-winning toolset included with the full game that allows players to create their own universes, quests and storylines.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer is scheduled for release in Fall 2007. More information about Neverwinter Nights 2 can be found at www.nwn2.com, which includes user forums, project news, development updates and more.

Thanks....but no thanks.  NWN2 is dead to me.

[Tyrael]

the one that sold were nwn1 and expansions nwn2 its utterly bird's crap (and im sorry for the poor birds )
im surely that as most of you would have guessed they striped nwn2 of most nwn1 good things to add them on expansions and get more money -.-

[Razor Blade]

lol I known this for much longer but didn't feel to post it (damn lazyness) anyways nwn2 expansion will be a huge failure on the sales...

[Cannixxxx]

They still haven't fixed all of the problems in NWN2, and there already pulling out an expansion. You have to be joking, right?

At least that means were going to actually get a few more patches. Im not a KOTOR expert, but didnt obsidian only bring out like 2 patches addressing half the issues and then just ditched it?

[Tyrael]

kotor was a good game but it wasnt online, a kotor online with a bigger world would be good

They better have a miniature giant space hamster named Boo or it won't be the real Rasheman.

Boo is the best character in BG, though he takes up a quickitem slot.

But that is the whole point of Boo's existence! Need to balance the Rasheman Berserker somehow.

does anybody still have BG2? i still have my copy around somewhere i think... gotta find it, would be awesome to play through the campaign again on MP with a few of you guys

[Deekin]

You guys know that just because its an expansion doesn't mean they won't sneak in a few fixes along with it right?  Highly unlikely of obsidian, but theres still a chance
