Interplay's role-playing game division, Black Isle Studios, are developing Icewind Dale

Using the award-winning BioWare Infinity Engine from Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale is a classic dungeon romp in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons mould, set in the frozen wastes of the Forgotten Realms.

"Our idea was to take the game engine from Baldur's Gate and create the ultimate AD&D dungeon crawl," said Black Isle Studios' Division Director Feargus Urquhart. "We wanted something that reminded everyone of their first foray into dungeons like the Tomb of Horrors, with traps around every corner and the undead crawling out of the walls."

Icewind Dale should be hitting your PC some time in spring 2000.
