Expansions

• Mask of the Betrayer – announced in April 2007 by Atari and Obsidian Entertainment, the game's first expansion pack, which was released on September 28, 2007 in Europe, on October 9 in the United States, and on November 1 in Australia. Mask of the Betrayer's story begins shortly after the events of Neverwinter Nights 2 and is set in the country of Rashemen, a matriarchy near Thay. The expansion contains several new options for character development, including additional races and prestige classes. It received favorable reviews from critics.

• Storm of Zehir – announced in June 2008. The pack is set on the Sword Coast and Chult areas of the Forgotten Realms and was released on November 18, 2008 in the United States, on November 21 in Europe, and on December 11 in Australia. Despite being released after the introduction of the D&D 4th edition ruleset, Storm of Zehir made use of the 3.5 ruleset like its predecessors. The expansion featured gameplay with similarities to previous D&D video game series Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale and received mixed reviews.

• Mysteries of Westgate – announced in October 2007. Atari referred to it as an "adventure pack", comparing it to the premium modules of Neverwinter Nights and to the Darkness over Daggerford free Expansion pack, as it was developed by Canadian-based Ossian Studios, the designers of Darkness over Daggerford. It is set in the Dragon Coast city of Westgate. Atari's initial press release gave a release date of fall 2007 for Mysteries of Westgate, and it was released on April 29, 2009 for digital download.
