The project is being spearheaded by Aspyr Media, which acquired Beamdog two years ago. Beamdog is renowned for their work on remasters of iconic RPGs, including the first two Baldur's Gate titles. While this news is thrilling, it's important to approach it with caution. No official announcements have been made, and the game’s page remains hidden from public view on Steam.
The original Neverwinter Nights 2, crafted by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2006, is a beloved classic within the RPG genre. It utilizes the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 ruleset and is set in the expansive Forgotten Realms universe. The game's narrative follows the protagonist and their allies as they delve into a series of mysterious events, ultimately confronting an ancient evil known as the King of Shadows.
