Neverwinter Nights: Doom of Icewind Dale is the surprise new DLC for a 20-something-year-old D&D game. The announcement comes just days after Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition update is spotted on Steam, and it's yet another reminder that this classic CRPG has not been forsaken.
Coming from Bioware's Beamdog – the same company that brought us the prequels to Baldur's Gate 3 – Doom of Icewind Dale DLC is an official sequel to Neverwinter Nights that follows on from the adventures of the original game.
The new DLC also ties in with the Shadows of Undrentide, Hordes of the Underdark, and Ossian Studios’ campaigns. Players are looking at 10-15+ hours of gameplay spanning 14 areas that include Icewind Pass, the Dwarven Valley, and the Reghed Glacier.
There’s also new monsters, music and even companions that include characters from the Wailing Death campaign and Tyrants of the Moonsea.
For a little context, the original, 2006 Neverwinter Nights game included something called the Aurora toolset, which allowed players to easily create their own custom and even multiplayer modules for the game.
