Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir might be home for Christmas

Neverwinter Nights 2‘s second expansion pack, Storm of Zehir has just been announced. Atari has stated in an official press release that the second expansion is currently being developed by Obsidian Entertainment and should be completed and in stores before the end of 2008. I guess Neverwinter Nights 2 players now know what they want in their stockings.

The main highlight of the Storm of Zehir expansion is the newfound freedom and 15 hour campaign. Players will be able to completely explore the Sword Coast and Samarach regions without being confined to a set path. Players will also be able to become wealthy merchants through trade, or attack other caravans to steal their goods to sell on their own terms. There also will be improved party communication and configuration options.
