Description
Picking up after the conclusion of
Icewind Dale, peace has returned to Icewind Dale... or so it seems. A plot by the northern Barbarians to attack the Ten Towns is underway, and it is up to the party of adventurers to investigate and stop this plot.
This expansion on the original game is more of the same. The game focuses on epic battles and powerful magics, relying on the plot only to provide a background for the fighting and spell-casting. Included are new weapons, armors, and enemies. Battles are now more like
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn than in the original, relying heavily on strategy and spell-casting to combat very powerful enemies.
The player can import their party from the original game to continue their adventure.
Alternate Titles
- "冰風之谷：寒冬之心" -- Chinese Title (Tradition)
- "Icewind Dale: Serce Zimy" -- Polish Title
- "Icewind Dale: Herz des Winters" -- German title

Trivia
A free expansion pack for
Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter was made available after the release of this add-on. It is called
Trials of the Luremaster and features new areas, new quests, new challenges, new character portraits, monsters, and more. The pack plugs directly into the game and was created due to criticism that
Heart of Winter was too short.
