There has not been an official release date from Black Isle, but EB is saying 8-23-02. Until there is an official word, I will expect it then

I hope they take their time to iron out all the bugs. The last we need is (yet another) buggy release!

Don't believe anything you hear from retailers like EB or Egghead - they are just guessing like everyone else. Until a game goes gold (is pronounced bugfree and ready to ship) as communicated by the designers, there is no way to tell when it will be released.
It's a safe bet to say that Bio would have been hoping that IWD2 would have gone gold before this though - with NWN set to ship at the end of this month I wonder how many people will buy IWD2 (which was supposed to be the "tweener" (inbetween) game to bridge the BG2 series and NWN. I'm sure they aren't happy about it... |

I don't think they can stall the release of either IWD2 or NWN, even though it looks like they will both be shipped almost on top of one another. I suspect that their sales will interfere with each other; what a shame.

Ive heard many rumors about Warcraft 3 coming out here this summer, but nothing too final. One person said, it had supposed to come out two years ago.
what might happen is like when IWD came out the same day as Diablo 2, right? For this to happen again would be saddening for the releasers of IWD2. later

According to latest info on the BIS boards, IWD2 is now at FC4. However, its more likely that the release delay is NOT a matter of debugging the game at this stage, but is a distribution / sales issue given that Neverwinter Nights and Warcraft 3 are hitting the stores NOW. NWN is going to BREAK the 1 million units sold barrier based on current forecasts of retail store orders. Given THAT type of competition it doesn't surprise me that the release of IWD2 is being delayed.
