"Neverwinter Nights is the definitive role playing experience on the personal computer," said Jean-Philippe Agati, senior vice president and head of Infogrames, Inc.'s Los Angeles studio. "With Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide, we are giving the fans all new content for their single player campaigning as well as the tools to push their own creations to the next level in the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset."

Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide will include a new 40-hour single player campaign as well as game features new to Neverwinter Nights, such as additional D&D(TM) skills, feats, classes, monsters, weapons and spells. In addition, the pack will include two new tile sets and other assets for use in the Aurora toolset that will enable amateur module designers to create completely different worlds.

The game is being co-developed by BioWare Corp., creators of the original game and the popular Baldur's Gate series, and FloodGate Entertainment, a company made up of developers largely from Looking Glass Studios. A second expansion pack with a new Neverwinter Nights campaign and even more features is also in the works for Summer 2003 and is under development exclusively at BioWare Corp.

"It's a great collaborative arrangement we've got with Floodgate," said Dr. Greg Zeschuk, joint CEO and Co-Executive Producer of Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide. "We're providing technical and design assistance. They're using the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset with some new additions (that will soon be available to Neverwinter Nights owners) and creating custom art to develop the new Dungeons & Dragons storyline and content."​
