Indtil i går var det stadig kun et rygte, at Bioware’s flotte RPG Neverwinter Nights var gået guld. Men nu melder Brad Grier om at spillet faktisk er klart, og at det ikke var længe før de mange ivrige fans kan kaste sig frådende over spillet.
Her er et uddrag fra pressemeddelelsen:
"NEVERWINTER NIGHTS GOES GOLD
BioWare’s Dungeons & Dragons Masterpiece Is Complete
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada - June 11, 2002 - Infogrames, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFGM),a leading global publisher of interactive entertainment software, today announced that the long awaited and highly anticipated epic, Neverwinter Nights™, has completed development and will ship to retail stores under the Company’s Atari label before the end of June. The most complete software adaptation of the classic pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons® role-playing game ever, Neverwinter Nights is the latest game from BioWare Corp., creators of the 4 million selling Baldur’s Gate series.
"Finally, PC gamers the world over can breathe - their dream computer game is complete and only days away from their PCs," said Jean-Philippe Agati, senior vice president and general manager of Infogrames’ Los Angeles studio. "Neverwinter Nights has lived up to all of its promises - engaging and exciting single player campaign, a groundbreaking multiplayer component, never-before-seen user editing abilities and, for the first time ever, a true translation of the D&D® ‘Dungeon Master’ to electronic entertainment."
Neverwinter Nights redefines the electronic role-playing game genre using the fully-3D BioWare Aurora Engine and the Third Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) core rulebook, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. The game contains an amazing 60-100 hour single player campaign that is also playable in multiplayer mode. More than just a game, Neverwinter Nights breaks new ground as the first complete role-playing system for the computer platform, allowing its players to step into the shoes of the Dungeon Master to tell their own stories and create their own adventures in the spirit of the exciting pen and paper original."
