Gearbox Publishing and Cryptic Studios have revealed that the Demonweb Pits module has launched into Neverwinter on both PC and Xbox. As always with new modules, MMO players can expect to find a lot to explore, including a new adventure zone, new dungeons, hunts, an updated leveling experience, and more.
The Menzoberranzan storyline comes to an end with the new content. Players must save the Drow capital city from Lolth, an otherworldly deity. Players will take on the Spider Goddess herself in the Demonweb Pits dungeon. Once she’s down, they can head off on challenging hunts and check out the new leveling experience.
To celebrate the launch of the MMO’s 26th module, Gearbox and Cryptic developers released a new trailer to showcase features, locations, and more.
Features include
- New Adventure Zone – Narbondellyn: Discover a new neighborhood, home to the towering Narbondel landmark of Menzoberranzan. For the first time ever, explore the grounds of House Fey-Branche, a powerful house of Menzoberranzan, and assist this venerable and mighty house in constructing the powerful Realm Engine to drive back Lolth!
- New Dungeon – The Demonweb Pits: Archmage Gromph’s fractured spell has blurred the lines between Menzoberranzan and the Demonweb Pits, and the heroes of Neverwinter must band together to drive Lolth out of the Material Plane. Enter the Demonweb Pits dungeon to challenge Lolth in an epic battle and discover new secrets, bosses, and rewards.
- New Menzoberranzan Hunts: Take on challenging hunts throughout all Menzoberranzan neighborhoods that will have you go up against horrifying monstrosities from both the Underdark and the Demonweb Pits itself. Band together with fellow adventurers to defeat these foes, close the opened abyssal tears into Menzoberranzan and harness the power of the Demonweb Pits!
- Post-Leveling Experience Update – The Hero’s Path: This new leveling experience update, “The Hero’s Path” Meta Adventure Set, offers goals for players after reaching level 20 (the max level in the game), along with new rewards as you make leveling progress – extending the new user-experience and improving guidance into the endgame experience for Neverwinter.
- In the Adventure Log, players will find the new leveling experience under “The Hero’s Path,” which has them run through the game in a tutorial/guided format, as it teaches the players about gameplay mechanics (e.g., combat, currency, etc.) and suggests different areas of the game to explore.
