We'll say right now that most details of the sequel are still under wraps. Nothing has yet been released on what the game will look like, play like, or what story it will tell. We do have one tasty bit of concept art for you to scrutinize, however. Even better, IGN will bring you exclusive first details of Neverwinter Nights 2 this Friday.
Until then, however, we can mention that development duties for Neverwinter Nights 2 have been handed to Obsidian Entertainment, the respected developer already handling Knights of the Old Republic II, the sequel to BioWare's excellent Star Wars RPG. Obsidian is headed by Feargus Urquhart, who once served as President of Black Isle Studios, the company responsible for the Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torrent franchises, and publisher of the original two Baldur's Gate titles on the PC.
BioWare will still be involved, however. The company will offer assets from the original Neverwinter Nights, as well as offer suggestions and oversight of the sequel's general design and development.
"From our development of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights to our engine licensure on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, we've been working collaboratively with Feargus and other members of the Obsidian Entertainment team for years," said Dr. Greg Zeschuk, BioWare's Joint CEO.
