Neverwinter Rights

[Nov 30, 2001, 3:27 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

BioWare sends along a press release announcing that Neverwinter Nights, their upcoming 3D role-playing game, will no longer be released through Interplay as it has terminated its contract on the game after previously filing two lawsuits against the publisher (story). Here is an excerpt from the announcement, which does not mention a new publisher for the game:

On Thursday, November 29, 2001, Canadian software developer BioWare Corp. terminated its contract with Interplay Entertainment Corp. to develop its latest computer game, Neverwinter Nights. BioWare announced that, though it has ended its association with Interplay on the project, it is looking forward to releasing Neverwinter Nights on schedule, early in 2002. Development at BioWare is continuing on both Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic as well as on other as yet unannounced projects.

...what does that leave Interplay on the PC side of things? I mean, besides their "sports" and Star Trek games?

Sad to see Interplay fall so far, so hard,
