Un communiqué de presse de
Bioware nous apprend enfin la date de sortie de
Neverwinter Nights, RPG ultra attendu permettant d'approcher de très près les possibilités d'un jeu de rôle sur plateau : maître du jeu, construction de ses donjons, création de ses NPC, de
son histoire, etc. Bref, le jeu devrait être disponible dès l'été 2002, c'est à dire dans moins de 6 mois. En attendant, vous pouvez toujours aller admirer les screenshots et artworks dispo

td>BioWare's new publishing partner, Infogrames, has just announced in their press release that Neverwinter Nights will be launched worldwide in Summer, 2002. We apologize for the delay in getting back to you during the day today - we want to try to clarify this date announcement since so many people have been posting about it on the message boards.
Please understand that we are committed to releasing games when they are finished, polished and ready for the world. For a game as complex, epic and multifaceted as Neverwinter Nights, this is especially the case. The massive scope and flexibility intrinsic in the Toolset, the DM Client and the Official Campaign will be unprecedented in the gaming world and, as a result, we must carefully test every aspect of Neverwinter Nights. With a new publisher, there is a new plan for marketing, QA, localization and distribution.
To that end, BioWare and Infogrames now feel that Summer 2002 (which could mean as early as May or June) is a good conservative estimate of the distribution date - guaranteeing a game worthy of the quality inherent under the titles of Dungeons and Dragons, Infogrames and BioWare. We are still aiming for the same development completion targets that we were aiming for in the past, but Infogrames and BioWare both want to provide a safe target window for the game to be ready in terms of the things that are covered by the publisher working in conjunction with the development team - distribution, localization, marketing and testing.
Thanks - as always as we get more information we'll update you. Our fans are very important to us.
