Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is set to make its highly anticipated debut on Nintendo Switch and other major platforms on July 15, 2025.
Developed by Aspyr, this remastered classic brings the acclaimed 2006 fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment to consoles for the first time, offering an array of enhancements and all previously released expansions.
Fans can also look forward to physical editions courtesy of Limited Run Games, which will be available in both standard ($49) and collector's ($200) editions.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition marks a significant milestone for console RPG enthusiasts.
Following the successful Nintendo eShop release of the original Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition in 2019, the sequel arrives with substantial updates.
Aspyr, a well-established name in retro re-releases (also known for adaptations of Star Wars and Tomb Raider), has not only modernized the visuals with improved textures but also introduced full controller support tailored to consoles.
Additionally, the game offers classic mouse-and-keyboard compatibility, giving players flexibility in their preferred gameplay setup.
Aspyr's project lead emphasized the studio's dedication to honoring the original's depth while expanding its accessibility.
"We're committed to delivering an experience that captures what made Neverwinter Nights 2 legendary, while adding features like full crossplay, streamlined controls, and enhanced graphics," the lead stated.
The pre-order trailer, revealed in late June 2025, showcases these improvements as well as the game's robust couch co-op, hero customization tools, and cross-platform multiplayer capabilities.
The Enhanced Edition is a comprehensive package containing over 100 hours of story-rich content, spanning four unique campaigns:
- Mask of the Betrayer: Delve into a shadowed realm as a Shard-Bearer plagued by insatiable hunger.
- Storm of Zehir: Navigate perilous jungles and uncover conspiracies threatening the world of Faerûn.
- Mysteries of Westgate: Explore a dangerous underworld teeming with secrets and treachery.
Players will also benefit from full Steam Workshop support, unlocking a universe of community-created modules and adventures—an unprecedented feature for console gamers.
Pre-orders for Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition are now available via the Nintendo eShop with a 10% launch discount, reducing the price to $26.99 until July 16, 2025.
The full game, including all expansions, will be accessible on Switch for $29.99 and requires approximately 27.6 GB of storage.
Aspyr is also launching a bundle on release day that includes both Enhanced Editions, giving newcomers and longtime fans a complete role-playing experience.
The release of Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition not only revives a beloved Dungeons & Dragons adventure for a new audience but also signals Aspyr’s expanding role in remastering classic CRPGs for modern hardware.
Limited Run Games' physical editions further serve collectors seeking to commemorate this iconic entry in D&D video game history.
With the fate of Faerûn resting in the player’s hands, fans will soon be able to experience the full saga as it arrives on Nintendo Switch and beyond this July.
