Over the years we’ve seen some incredible Dungeons & Dragons video games, with everything from 90s classics like the Eye of Beholder series to more recent releases like Baldur’s Gate 3. One of the most influential, however, remains Neverwinter Nights 2, a game released back in 2006 from Obsidian Entertainment that was almost universally lauded by both fans and critics alike.

Now, the popular title is coming back in the form of Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition, which will be coming later this summer for consoles and PCs. The game includes a number of new features, audio and graphical updates, plus all of the DLC expansions that were included with the original game. Below, we take a closer at all the details.

What other D&D Video Games Are in the Works?

While the Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition marks the return of an old school classic, there are also a number of new D&D video game projects in the works, including:

Untitled D&D surival sim: In development from Gameloft Montreal, the studio best known for the popular Disney Dreamlight Valley, this new D&D title will be an action-focused survival-life sim set in the Forgotten Realms.
Project Baxter: In development from Starbreeze Enterainment, who are best known for their shooter Payday 3, little has been revealed about this upcoming D&D game (code named “Project Baxter”) other than that it is a co-operative multiplayer game and slated for release in 2026 for consoles and PC.
Baldur’s Gate 4: Larian Studios has confirmed that they will not be working on a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3. Hasbro, however, is unlikely to let the lucrative franchise die and chances are good we’ll see a Baldur’s Gate 4 in the future from another developer.
Untitled Hasbro Game: Wizards of the Coast has also indicated that an in-house studio at Hasbro is currently developing a currently unnamed D&D game, although little information has been revealed about what it will consist of.
Untitled Saber Interactive game: The developers of the popular Space Marine 2 video game are also working on a new Hasbro title that may be D&D related.
Untitled Giant Skull Game: The new game studio (which was founded in 2023 by several video game veterans) is working on a single-player action adventure title using the Dungeons & Dragons license.
Battlemarked: is an upcoming co-op virtual reality RPG game set in the world of D&D. The game is built using the Demeo Action Role Playing System, which involves tactical turn-based combat for up to four players.

Final Thoughts

It’s great to see Neverwinter Nights 2 get a new lease on life and it’s a great way for fans who haven’t experienced it before to jump into the game. While it might not be Baldur’s Gate 4, it’s a way to experience one of Dungeons & Dragons most influential video games.

You can pre-order the game now for PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. Below you can also check out the official launch trailer.

Since then he’s played virtually every RPG he could get his nerdy little mitts on (including a weird Goth phase in the early 2000s when he rocked Vampire: The Masquerade pretty hard). His favorite D&D campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms and his favorite character to play was a Half-Orc Barbarian named Grug (who was unfortunately devoured by a gelatinous cube).
