Atari’s sale of Cryptic Studios to Perfect World Entertainment is being blamed for the delayed release of Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter. The game is being planned for a late 2012 release and will feature traditional D&D characters, the ability to team up with 4 other players and a single player campaign that can team you up with an AI companion.
In other Dungeons and Dragons news, Hasbro and Atari have agreed to settle their legal dispute over the rights to use the D&D license. Hasbro will keep the digital licensing rights, while Atari will be able to develop and sell a “selection of games” under the Dungeons and Dragons name.
