It seems nothing can keep Neverwinter Nights 2 down. Atari announced today that the Dungeons and Dragons epic will start releasing "Adventure Packs" for download starting in late April. The first pack, Mysteries of Westgate, is being produced by Canadian developer Ossian Studios and will be priced at  €9.99 / £9.99 /$9.99. Ossian was previously a distinguished mod-shop and known for the excellent Darkness over Daggerfall mod for the original Neverwinter Nights.  My guess is that NWN2's original developer Obsidian is a little busy right now.

According to details over on Atari's launch site, this is a new single-player campaign that takes place in the Forgotten Realms city of Westgate between levels 8-14. Only NWN2 proper is required to play but if you've got the expansions you'll be able to use those classes in the new pack. While I'm not sure if this qualifies to fill in the Dungeons and Dragons void of 2009, I'll still likely pick it up just to continue my love for anything requiring dice rolls. Level 8 seems like a strange choice for a start, but at least it'll avoid the awkwardness of my Wizard not having the fireball spell in those first few levels.
