Infogrames Entertainment signed a new agreement with Hasbro extentending its rights to Dungeons & Dragons to 2017. The agreement covers all current and future products that are part of this universe, including NeverWinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, and more.

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

Hasbro has also bought back the digital gaming rights to nine franchises (Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, Game of Life, Clue, Yahtzee, Battleship, Boggle and Simon), for almost US$20 million. “This agreement represents a reaffirmation of our partnership with Hasbro. It is an important step in our business strategy that will allow us to keep and strengthen a franchise with significant potential, while giving the group additional resources to invest in the relaunch of its publishing business.

"Dungeons & Dragons is one of the group’s historic intellectual properties on which we plan to expand our business, relying on one of the largest and most active gamer communities in the world of video games,” commented Patrick Leleu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
