Neverwinter Nights 2 Remaster Hinted by Steam Database Listing

Posted on by admin


Fans of Dungeons & Dragons-based RPGs have reason to be excited, as recent developments suggest that Neverwinter Nights 2 may be receiving a remastered edition and its first release on Steam. According to a report by GamesRadar+, a new listing titled “Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2” was recently added to the Steam Database, with updates as recent as February 11, 2025.

Originally developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2006, Neverwinter Nights 2 is based on the D&D 3.5 edition ruleset. The game offers a rich narrative experience, separate from its predecessor, and features a character creation process, companion system, and turn-based combat mechanics that fans of titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 would find familiar.

The potential remaster follows the precedent set by the original Neverwinter Nights, which received an Enhanced Edition in 2018, making its way to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile platforms. This move not only modernized the classic but also introduced it to a broader audience. The absence of Neverwinter Nights 2 from Steam has been a notable gap for RPG enthusiasts, and this development could signify a long-awaited update.

While official confirmation from the developers or publishers is pending, the SteamDB listing has ignited speculation and anticipation within the gaming community. If the remaster comes to fruition, it would provide both longtime fans and newcomers an opportunity to experience the game with enhanced features and accessibility.

Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit: Coming Soon to Modern Consoles and the NES!

Posted on by admin

Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit is an upcoming platformer that draws directly from the comedic web series by James Rolfe, better known as the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN). Developed by Mega Cat Studios, the game is set to launch in Q2 2025 on multiple platforms—including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. In fact, the Steam store page is already live for anyone wanting to scope out more details: Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit on Steam.

In keeping with the AVGN’s style, the game embraces an 8-bit aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek humor that harks back to the era of the NES. Players can run, jump, shoot, and slide through side-scrolling levels that are filled with all sorts of adversaries—from zombies to mechanical skeletons, plus a few ghoulish reapers thrown in for good measure. If you’re familiar with the Nerd’s videos, expect irreverent jokes, pixelated gore, and a level of challenge that might just remind you of the old-school “NES-hard” days.

One of the major highlights is the plan to release an official NES cartridge version, letting die-hard collectors and retro enthusiasts play the game on genuine 8-bit hardware. For the rest of us, modern console versions and PC downloads will be available. There’s also a physical edition coming via Limited Run Games (LRG), which typically caters to fans who prefer owning the physcal cart.

Beyond the throwback graphics and gameplay, it’s worth noting the game will retain much of the AVGN’s comedic edge, including references to alcohol and crude humor, as well as cartoon violence and profanity. That might not be for everyone, but for those who’ve followed the Nerd’s rants about frustratingly hard retro titles, it’ll feel right at home.
