Neverwinter Nights Announced

Neverwinter Nights Announced landed today, giving players another thing to circle on the calendar.

Black Isle Studios is behind the announcement. Black Isle Studios, the role-playing game (RPG) division of Interplay Entertainment Corp.and BioWare Corp. announced today from the show floor at the GEN CON Game Fair 1999, their latest development/publishing venture with Neverwinter Nights (NWN).

The launch comes on the tails of Wizards of the Coast’s announcement to develop the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules set which Neverwinter Nights will use. This marks the first time the Dungeons & Dragons rules have been revised in over ten years, and is a huge milestone for Wizards of the Coast, fans of D&D and all of its licensees.

We will see if it lives up to the pitch, because the late-1999 release calendar is not exactly taking mercy on anyone.
