On October 31, 2006, the sequel Neverwinter Nights 2 was released followed by its first expansion in late 2007 and its second one at the end of 2008.
Two expansion packs were released in mid and late 2003, and a third in 2005. MacSoft released a Mac OS X port in August 2003. BioWare released the freely downloadable Linux Client in June 2003 (purchase of game still required). Infogrames released Neverwinter Nights for Windows on June 18, 2002. It was originally to be published by Interplay Entertainment, but the publisher's financial difficulties forced the change. Neverwinter Nights (NWN), produced by BioWare and published by Infogrames (now Atari), is a third-person perspective computer role-playing game that is based on third edition Dungeons & Dragons and Forgotten Realms rules.
