Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition Next Month [Jun 09, 2025, 11:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Aspyr announces Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition, an upcoming version of the classic RPG coming to PC and consoles on July 15th. This marks the game's console debut, and will come with all three expansions as well as gameplay enhancements which include improved textures, controller support, Steam Workshop modding, and more. The first Neverwinter Nights got an enhanced edition in 2019 from Beamdog, which was acquired by Aspyr in 2022 by way of Embracer group, so this is stall all in the family. The Windows version is coming to GOG.com and Steam. Here's the Announce Trailer and a refresher:
A dark force sweeps over Faerûn, ravaging everything in its path as though searching for something – something that you now find in your possession. As the Shard-Bearer, only you can stop the King of Shadows and his army from desecrating the land you call home. Will you save Faerûn, or fall victim to the temptation of absolute power? When your actions dictate the fate of the Realms, there are no small choices.

The great time I had playing NWN1 mods were still superior to anything in NWN2. Some truly awesome mods came out of NWN1.
Thank you for making my point that base game NWN1 needed mods to surpass NWN2 base game. Thus NWN2 was, as I said, superior apples to apples. I didn't say anything about mods, I implied base game vs base game.

Yeah I remember having a good time in NWN1 (not much more than that, but I did enjoy the game for what it was) while NWN2 was a big letdown, everything felt clunky and I didn't play past the few first hours of the game.
Ultimately out of all the D&D PC games, these two always felt like an afterthought.

NWN2 on a writing, acting, story and NPC level was far superior to NWN1 which was nothing more than a giant fed ex quest with a forced, foreshadowed down your throat evil turn character. Yes NWN2 had some camera issues but from a 3.5 ruleset and the toolset it was amazing.

Hope they fixed the shitty camera/movement control scheme.
I have heard second hand, by some who had tested it early, that the controls were significantly improved from the original game. I haven't played the EE version myself, but I remember struggling with the original NWN2 game.
Thanks. That's good news. I mean, it was somewhat more bearable with that one popular mod (forgot the name) but, man, this never should have been as broken and awkward as it was in the first place. Getting the camera/movement right is *the* most basic thing that simply MUST work if you want your game to be successful.

I could not stomach this to finish it. My favorite character type, the monk, was represented as a lumbering mess. The combat animations were so friggin' bad. Not even a proper kick...how the hell could you progress backwards from NWN 1?

The multiplayer in 2 was horrid. Don’t think they’ll be able to fix it, but we’ll see I guess.
I should be coding.
Hope they fixed the shitty camera/movement control scheme. Unfathomable levels of incompetence on the part of Bugsidian here. How you can fuck up so badly when there was long since de facto standardization with regard to 3rd person controls has got to be completely beyond anyone with more than a single brain cell. We're talking amoeba levels of fuckuppery at Bugsidian. The entire UI was in fact one of the most humongous fusterclucks ever. Unbelievable dumbshittery all around.
Gonna take epic levels of "enhancement" polish for this turd to even begin to shine...

I think this is the only D&D game of that era that I never had a chance to play so I'm down for this.

I have been looking forward to this since NWN Enhanced Edition. I modded the crap out of NWN2. I loved playing the game, I loved messing with it. Obviously, an enhanced edition of an older game like this will only have so much "new" fun to be had, but I am looking forward to it.
Please be good. I played and finished both NWN games and might have time to play this enhanced edition in about 30 years or so.
