Obsidian Entertainment’s lauded 2006 fantasy RPG, Neverwinter Nights 2, is making a triumphant return, this time in an Enhanced Edition that’s set to debut on Nintendo Switch and additional consoles on July 15, 2025.

Announced during the 2024 PC Gaming Show, publisher Aspyr revealed that this remastered version brings a host of modern features to the classic Dungeons & Dragons experience, inviting fans and newcomers alike to explore the Forgotten Realms on next-generation hardware. Building on the success of the original Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition—which arrived on the eShop in 2019—this new release forges ahead with upgraded visuals, expansive content, and robust controller support, tailored specifically for console players.

For $29.99 USD, Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition includes all three story-rich expansions—Mask of the Betrayer, Storm of Zehir, and Mysteries of Westgate—delivering over 100 hours of immersive RPG gameplay across four campaigns. Key enhancements drive the experience forward.

Players can expect improved textures, a range of gameplay optimizations, and full controller integration, ensuring seamless play whether docked or handheld on the Nintendo Switch.

In addition, for the first time on consoles, Neverwinter Nights 2 will incorporate Steam Workshop support, enabling the community to share, discover, and download a vast collection of user-created modules and adventures.

This expands the game exponentially, connecting console audiences to the creative output that has long defined the PC modding scene. Aspyr’s lead producer commented that this edition was meticulously crafted to preserve the legacy of Obsidian Entertainment’s original—allowing a fresh generation to navigate the rich storylines and tactical combat that set the series apart.

The bundle of included expansions enhances this appeal: traverse the haunting Shadow Realm as a Shard-Bearer in Mask of the Betrayer, command a shipwrecked crew in the jungles of Storm of Zehir, and delve into the criminal depths of Mysteries of Westgate—all fully optimized for console play.
