[darrenhfx]

I just happened to notice this anouncement on the vault and thought I'd pass it along. The first pack is set in an ALFA-familiar location in Westgate and they promise to deliver new content over an extended series of these adventure packs. Sounds good to me. If anyone else has any additional info, let us know.

Atari have officially announced their NWN2 Adventure Pack module "Mysteries of Westgate" on their forums. No specific date has been given for a release date, except that it is due out in Fall 2007. Atari have revealed that there will be three new Companions, 15 hours of gameplay, a new underground sewer tileset, new monsters including some "truly epic foes" original new music and thousands of lines of recorded dialogue. Atari also indicate that this will be the first of many Adventure Packs, which is all good news for NWN2 fans! Here is an excerpt:
Developed by Ossian Studios, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate is the first full featured Adventure Pack available from Atari. Set in the infamous 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 city-spanning clash between warring factions. Players must choose their allegiance in order to break the curse and ultimately uncover a plot that threatens Westgate itself.

"Our premium module program for the original Neverwinter Nights was an enormous success due to the sheer amount of new, high-quality content we provided in each adventure," said Hudson Piehl, Vice President of Product Development, Atari, Inc. "With our new Adventure Packs, such as the upcoming Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate, we are evolving the premium module: fans can expect higher production values, deep storylines, and lengthy new campaigns they've come to associate with Neverwinter Nights."

From the creators of the critically-acclaimed Neverwinter Nights module, Darkness over Daggerford, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate will feature a non-linear, open-ended single-player campaign with numerous side quests covering more than 15 hours of game play. Atari's new Adventure Pack will also feature 3 new companions; an entirely new underground sewers tile set themed after the seedy underbelly of Westgate; a host of new monsters to do battle with, including some truly epic foes; an exciting new and original musical score; as well as thousands of new lines of professionally recorded dialogue.

Aw. I'm feeling all nostalgic. I think I'm gonna cry. I also think I'm gonna steal the city if it's done well enough. WHy rebuild Westgate if somebody's already done it for me, eh? Hell, everybody's rebuildin' the same places for ALFA in NWN2 anyway.

Three cheers for the most corrupt surface city in the Forgotten Realms!!!

I almost got hired to work on this. Made it to the last round. They have a lot of talent over thar, it should be pretty good.

So I just got a news mail from Atari today where they said Mysteries of Westgate was available exclusively for download. Have anyone tried this yet? I didn't get if it was released now or what. Sorry to hear you missed the job GF. Would've been cool to have ALFA-members in deep. (would that have made it a first?)

It is out now, ballonger. Can download for about $10US from the various Atari sites.

The trailer looked great - can't wait to see what the game itself is like.
