The role-playing division of Interplay, Black Isle Studios, has announced more details concerning its upcoming sequel, Mordor II, a title being codeveloped with VB Designs.

　　Mordor II for Windows 95 will launch this winter and will give gamers a chance to play both single-player and multiplayer over the Internet. Gamers will also get to run their own servers to give them the option to have multiplayer games without having to pay monthly fees for a game-matching service.

　　Black Isle Studios has developed RPGs like Fallout and owns the license from TSR to produce games for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms and Planescape product lines.

　　The game will also allow gamers to build their own RPGs with tools that will be released as add-ons. These tools will include a map-generation tool, a scripting engine, a monster editor, and the ability to change the art in the game.

　　Mordor II places the gamer beneath a city on a quest to find a deadly force that committed a massacre, find the city's stolen magic, and bring the offenders back to justice.
