Beloved RPG from 2006 is Getting a Remaster Next Month

Aspyr has recently announced that Neverwinter Nights 2 will get an Enhanced Edition on July 15. Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition promises to be an exciting game for fans, as it will revamp some elements of the classic game for modern Dungeons and Dragons fans.

Neverwinter Nights 2 was originally released in 2006. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment as the sequel to BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights, NWN2 was often considered one of the best RPGs of the 2000s. In the game, players used adapted Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition rules, and the main quest revolved around a quest to save the Sword Coast from evil forces. After its release, Neverwinter Nights 2 received three expansions: “Mask of the Betrayer,” “Storm of Zehir,” and “Mysteries of Westgate.”

Cult classic title Planescape: Torment was supposed to receive a sequel, and the moment might be right for WOTC to pull the trigger on one.

Now, Aspyr has announced Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition with a new short trailer. The title, which will be available on July 15 for modern consoles and PC, containing the base game and all three expansions, can already be pre-ordered by fans. The title will come with a few enhancements, such as improved graphics and textures, as well as updated camera controls. Most gamers who played Neverwinter Nights 2 back in the day may remember that the game’s camera was widely considered its worst aspect, so it’s great to see it being tweaked. According to Aspyr, the game will also have updated gameplay mechanics, full controller support, and will be entirely compatible with Steam Deck and Steam Workshop.

When Will Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition Be Released?

• Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition will be out on July 15, 2025.

Before now, there were already rumors regarding Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition’s development. At the time, speculation was fueled by changes in SteamDB, which was suspicious as Neverwinter Nights 2 was not available on Steam anymore.

The announcement comes on the heels of a new DLC for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. Released back in February, “Doom of Icewind Dale” offered around 10 to 15 hours of content for gamers, offering five companions in total, 14 new monsters, and some new songs in its soundtrack.

It’s good to see a franchise such as Neverwinter Nights receiving support once more, and it makes sense in a time when games inspired by Dungeons and Dragons are very popular. For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 has sold over 15 million copies and reached critical acclaim, becoming one of the most successful games in recent years. Unfortunately, there’s still no indication that Neverwinter Nights 3 could be in development, but it’s possible, considering that Wizards of the Coast has already confirmed that some Dungeons and Dragons games are being planned.
