"I had no faith in Neverwinter. Having gorged on the awesome Neverwinter Nights in my teens, the thought of a dumbed down action MMO going on the same name seemed a great injustice. Having spent some time with Cryptic Studio's efforts though, I can safely say my doubts have been eased. Neverwinter carries on the spirit of the older Dungeons and Dragons (D and D) games faultlessly, with a new pace of combat and a great free to play model that is likely to open up the Forgotten Realms to a much wider audience."
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.
