Fraser Brown gives up on traditional weekend breaks, instead spending some time in the city of Neverwinter, the location of Cryptic's latest MMO. "These beta weekends have certainly rekindled my interest in Neverwinter, though they are far from enough to get a proper beat on the game — that will have to wait until launch. However, there’s definitely potential here, and I think that Cryptic are making some smart decisions by starting this as a F2P title instead of failing to maintain subscriptions and then switching model like they did with their previous MMOs."
Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.
The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
"Cryptic Studios and Gearbox Publishing are today very happy and excited to announce that "Neverwinter: Menzoberranzan" (Neverwinter’s 25th module) is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox (via the Microsoft, and Playstation via digital stores (as announced at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Direct 2023 showcase)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's for that online game, correct? I always wanted to see the drows home from Drizzt's books, I've read those years ago, but I never could fully imagine it from text alone. Looks a bit bright compared to what I remember how it was described, but I'm guessing that's for gameplay reasons.
