Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Goes Gold

Keeping things rollin' tonight, Obsidian Entertainment has announced that their upcoming Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir expansion has officially gone gold and will be hitting stores sometime this November. What new content does this expansion offer? Here's a brief description from the press release:

The Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Overland Map feature lets players explore the Chultan Peninsula and Sword Coast in a way never before possible in any Neverwinter Nights game. Players will explore well-known locations, like Neverwinter and Crossr 20a2 oad Keep, alongside lesser travelled areas, such as the xenophobic jungle nation of Samarach. Vicious monsters and groups of bandits populate the Overland Map, and the farther from civilization the player roams, the more difficult the encounters become.

The 20 to 30-hour campaign in Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir introduces new classes, including the fearsome Hellfire Warlock and the daring Swashbuckler, as well as brand-new spells, creatures, and playable races. Fans of the compelling multiplayer features of Neverwinter Nights 2 will be able to play through Storm of Zehir's campaign in the online cooperative mode, while modders can use the included editor to create their own campaigns and Overland Maps to share online.

We'll be sure to let you know when an exact day is nailed down. So stay tuned! ;)
