Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment have announced the new module for MMORPG Neverwinter Online. It will be launching on PC via Arc Games, Epic Games Store and Steam on January 11th and consoles on February 8. The update will have adventurers return to the Sword Coast and face against Valindra Shadowmantle and the Cult of the Dragon.
Along with a new campaign, the module will introduce a new adventure zone, brand-new grappling hook traversal mechanics that have never been available before in Neverwinter, a new 10-player trial featuring the grand return of Valindra, new heroic encounters, an Enchantment and Refinement overhaul and more.
“For the first time ever in Neverwinter, players will be able to zip around specific, designated areas of the Dragonbone Vale adventure zone with a new grappling hook, making exploration even faster and more epic than ever before. At the beginning of the module’s campaign, players will be given this tool to equip and explore all the areas the zone has to offer, with select areas offering story events and rewards. Players who are looking for a deadly challenge can take on Valindra and the bronze dracolich, Palhavorithyn, in a new 10-player trial, The Crown of Keldegonn, and complete new heroic encounters to earn various rewards. Additionally, this module will include an Enchantment and Refinement overhaul that will bring new quality of life improvements and all-new enchantments.”
Additionally, players can partake in the seasonal Winter Festival of Simril. The village of Twilight Tor will once again serve as host to merry-making Adventurers.
For those that feel the need for speed, the Twilight Run offers adventurers an exhilarating sled race through the snowy mountains. If racing isn’t you style, reel it in with Ice Fishing! Want to be festively heroic? The monsters glide their way back to the Winter Festival! Stop the threat of The Monsters on Ice event and protect the citizens of Twilight Tor! With the dazzling wintry skies of Twilight Tor, players can also stargaze and gain buffs!
