Atari today announced the development of the first Neverwinter Nights 2 Adventure Pack, to be available via digital download. Created by Atari and prominent members of the Neverwinter Nights 2 community, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate will provide all-new storylines, professional voice acting, music and in-game content. Developed by Ossian Studios, Mysteries of Westgate is the first Adventure Pack available from Atari. Set in the Forgotten Realms city of Westgate, players find themselves in possession of a powerful but cursed treasure that threatens to destroy them. Linked to the underworld organization known as the Night Masks, the treasure will draw players into a clash between warring factions. Players must choose their allegiance in order to break the curse and uncover a plot that threatens Westgate.

From the creators of the Neverwinter Nights module, Darkness over Daggerford, Mysteries of Westgate will feature a non-linear, open-ended single-player campaign with numerous side quests covering more than 15 hours of gameplay. Atari’s new Adventure Pack will also feature three new companions, a new underground sewers tile set, a host of new enemies, an original musical score and thousands of new lines of professionally recorded dialogue.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate is scheduled for release this fall. The Mysteries of Westgate, as well as future adventure packs, require the original game, and will be made available for purchase and download directly from Atari. More at www.nwn2.com.
