An Enhanced Edition of Neverwinter Nights 2 could be in development, according to recent reports. Together with its predecessor, Neverwinter Nights 2 is one of the most well-known role-playing games set in Dungeons and Dragon’s Forgotten Realms, and this rumor could be excellent news for RPG fans if confirmed.

Neverwinter Nights 2 is the sequel to BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights, and it was released in 2006 by Obsidian Entertainment. Like its predecessor, the game allowed players to create a character using adapted rules of the Dungeons and Dragons 3E tabletop game. Aside from its main campaign, NWN2 received three official expansions: “Mask of the Betrayer,” “Storm of Zehir,” and “Mysteries of Westgate,” and fans could use the game’s tools to create their own campaigns. Despite not being as famous as Baldur’s Gate or becoming a cult classic like Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2 was still one of the best RPGs of the 2000s, and many fans were disappointed that it never received a proper Enhanced Edition.

Dungeons & Dragons inspired countless CRPGs over the years, but which games should a fan of the Tabletop franchise try?

Now, a new entry in SteamDB indicates that Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition could be in development. The entry is called “Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition,” and was first created back in December 2024, receiving some new updates earlier this week. While this does not confirm the existence of a remaster, Neverwinter Nights 2 is currently not available for sale on Steam, so there are strong indications that the Enhanced Edition for this popular D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms is at least in development.

Neverwinter Nights 2 Could Get an Enhanced Edition After Nearly Two Decades

An Enhanced Edition for NWN2 would not be surprising. Back in 2018, the first Neverwinter Nights received an Enhanced Edition, which was launched for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Mobile platforms. Therefore, it makes sense to remaster the old game, which can only be purchased on GOG currently.

Another aspect that may make the new edition more likely was Baldur’s Gate 3’s huge success. Released in 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 had over 15 million copies sold, and earned over $260 million in profit for Larian Studios, as well as many awards. As BG3 is also set in the Forgotten Realms and uses another edition of D&D as its base system, it’s possible that more gamers would be happy with the idea of exploring this universe. In any case, it’s still too early to know whether Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is real, so fans should await an official announcement before getting too excited.
