In a press release issued today, Infogrames Entertainment SA let us know that they’ve extended their license of the Dungeons & Dragons universe through 2017.

The agreement covers all current and future products that are part of this universe, including NeverWinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

Two new games have already been announced for fiscal 2007-2008: NeverWinter Nights 2 Expansion Pack for PC and Dungeons & Dragons Tactics for PSP.
