Neverwinter: Underdark Now Available

Posted: 17 Nov 2015 05:05 PM PST

Today, Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of free-to-play MMORPGs, and Cryptic Studios launched Neverwinter: Underdark – the eighth expansion of the action MMORPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons' Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast – on PC, with Xbox One to follow in early 2016. Join forces with Drizzt Do'Urden and his companions summoned to battle demonic forces erupting from the Underdark, including an all-new 10-player encounter against the Prince of Demons, Demogorgon.

When a spell turns against the Archmage of Menzoberranzan, powerful demons spill into the Underdark, beginning a series of events that coincide with the Rage of Demons storyline from Wizards of the Coast. Neverwinter: Underdark lets players jump into that story to battle these demons and send them back to the Abyss. Full of new content and quality-of-life updates, this expansion continues to improve the constantly-evolving MMORPG. The full list of additions includes:

10-player encounter with the two-headed demon lord, Demogorgon
Adventure alongside iconic Dungeons & Dragons characters including Drizzt Do'Urden, Bruenor Battlehammer and Regis in a new questline, "The Dwarven King", written by New York Times Best-Selling Author R.A. Salvatore
All-new campaign including new in-game rewards inspired by the Rage of Demons storyline from Wizards of the Coast
Mantol-Derith, a new non-combat adventurer hub found in the Underdark
Two new end-game skirmishes, each with two different ways to achieve victory
Rifts in the Abyssal plane now summon Demonic encounters throughout the Sword Coast adding variety to open-world Heroic Encounters
Updates to the Trade Bar Store allowing easier access to items and economy adjustments
Gear Preview allows players to see how all equippable items will look on their characters
Additional Strongholds content including a new resource plot and PvP tower
Artifact weapons can be reforged into new artifact weapons via double refinement above rank 15
Masterwork Items now obtainable from endgame Professions tasks
Boons tied to successfully quelling demonic presence in the Underdark campaign

"Neverwinter: Underdark continues the longstanding relationship between Cryptic and the D&D, allowing us to further flesh out content to official storylines from Wizards of the Coast," said Rob Overmeyer, executive producer of Neverwinter. "As Dungeons & Dragons fans, we have always theorycrafted adventures that we want to play ourselves in Neverwinter. Collaborating with Salvatore to create adventures that put our characters alongside Drizzt and Bruenor is a huge opportunity. Underdark is just the beginning, as our team has even more ideas to deliver content that D&D fans will continue to enjoy."

"It's great to see that our friends at Cryptic are just as susceptible to demonic invasion as the rest of the D&D community," said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director of Dungeons & Dragons. "Here's hoping Neverwinter players are able to stave off the sinuous madness that Demogorgon can produce in even the most stalwart of heroes, Drizzt included."

Guild Wars 2 Launches Spirit Vale Raid Wing

Posted: 17 Nov 2015 04:39 PM PST

The wait for raids in Guild Wars 2 is officially over! ArenaNet just activated the first raid wing for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns with the release of Spirit Vale, introducing a new raid experience that's sure to test the skills and fortitude of even the most hardened MMO raiders. Spirit Vale represents the first of three wings that will ultimately make up the first full raid for Heart of Thorns.

Raiding in Heart of Thorns is distinctly Guild Wars 2, rooted in everything that sets the MMO apart. There are no attunement quests for raiding in Heart of Thorns, and there's much more freedom of party composition thanks to the versatility and universal healing ability of professions in Guild Wars 2. The ferocity of pace and action in raids is an extension of the core game's combat system, where success is rooted in player skill, strategy and timely execution. Abandon UI gazing all ye who enter our raids. Bring all the hope you can muster.

Last January, ArenaNet promised players that Heart of Thorns would deliver "challenging group content" unlike anything they've seen before. Today, players get to dive into the first part of that experience with Spirit Vale. You can get more information on this first raid wing including: how it ties into the rich Guild Wars 2 universe, new features such as enhanced squad UI for raiding, and a preview of the rewards players can reap on our release page.
