Gearbox Publishing and Cryptic Studios have revealed the next module coming to Neverwinter. Called “Demonweb Pits,” the module is expected to launch on July 18th for 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 will need to save the Drow capital city from the spider-goddess, Lolth. 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.
The story so far…
Following the events of Menzoberranzan, Gromph Baenre, the Archmage of Menzoberranzan, has recovered his lost demon summoning tome, Zhaun’ol’leal. Pouring over ancient texts within the Sorcere, the Archmage hoped to find a way to gain access to Lolth’s domain within the Abyss, the Demonweb Pits. This caused a spell to materialize and fracture under its own weight, resulting in the Material Plane and the Demonweb Pits to be connected — allowing demons, including Lolth, to step into the Underdark and a torrent of abyssal magic to flood into the Narbondellyn district. To stop Menzoberranzan from being torn asunder, you’ll need to join forces with Noori, a brilliant Sorcere mage and cousin to the Archmage, to seal the rift and send Lolth back to the Abyss!
In the new module, Demonweb Pits, heroes brave enough to answer Bregan D’aerthe’s call for aid will discover plenty of new content within Neverwinter, including the new Narbondellyn Adventure Zone. It is here you will explore the grounds of House Fey-Branche, a powerful house of Menzoberranzan and assist this venerable and mighty house in constructing the Realm Engine to drive back Lolth.
