NWN2 Delayed Until October

Post by Shir'le E. Illios »

Several (reputable) news sites are reporting that Neverwinter Nights 2 has been delayed for one month until late October.

Here’s the official message from Atari:

[quote:3kpwv74g]“Given the sheer size and scope of Neverwinter Nights 2 and its 50 to 60-hour single player campaign, it was decided to move the global release date of Neverwinter Nights 2 out a month to late October. This extra time is invaluable as it allows fine tuning and polishing of both the single and multiplayer experiences to ultimately deliver a game that exceeds the tremendous expectations of the Neverwinter Nights fanbase.”[/quote:3kpwv74g]
Some sites reporting this are [url=http://nwvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=19447:3kpwv74g]Neverwinter Vault[/url:3kpwv74g], [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?ar ... 5:3kpwv74g]Eurogamer[/url:3kpwv74g], [url=http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6154251.htm ... 1:3kpwv74g]Gamespot[/url:3kpwv74g], [url=http://pc.ign.com/articles/719/719479p1.html:3kpwv74g]IGN[/url:3kpwv74g] and others, so it seems genuine.

As most people have noted on the official forums it might be bad that we get the game one month later, but overall this is a good thing for the game since it allows for one more month of polish and bugfixing, making a much more stable and (hopefully) enjoyable initial release.

Also, [url=http://nwvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=19459:3kpwv74g]Neverwinter Vault is reporting[/url:3kpwv74g] official release dates: Oct 20[sup:3kpwv74g]th[/sup:3kpwv74g] for Europe and Oct 17[sup:3kpwv74g]th[/sup:3kpwv74g] for North America (or the US at least).

Overall for a little bit of extra patience this should make for a better game in the end. :)


[EDIT 19 July 2006] Added a few more links to news reports and added the official release dates.
