David Jagneaux of The Koalition writes: "Neverwinter is undoubtedly one of the most popular new MMORPGs of 2013 and easily solidified my preemptive assumption that it would be the #1 free-to-play MMORPG this year. While it is anything but truly original (it is based on decades old lore and ideas, after all) but it delivers the familiar in enough fresh ways that I can't help but find myself coming back to this latest incarnation of the Forgotten Realms."
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.
This is a good preview of a game called Neverwinter Shadow-something.
I never really got into Neverwinter but I'm definitely anxious to try it out now.
