Neverwinter’s Bard Class Launches Today


Alongside level crunch.

Neverwinter’s next big update launches today, July 27. This week’s update introduces the first new class in a while, the Bard. Players who log in will also find that all of their existing characters are now level 20, which is the new level cap. Leveling has been streamlined so now it’s more of an extended tutorial with the real game starting at level 20.

It’s almost worth starting a new character to see the new experience. As a result of the level crunch, altered experience, and more, a good amount of the zones in the game have been completely removed to be re-added at a later date with more relevant content. Campaigns have also been reconfigured to be relevant to the end-game experience, and legacy content has been switched up as well.

Honestly this update is massive, and you’ll probably want to put some reading into the patch notes and accompanying dev blogs to get an understanding of how everything is changing. This might as well be Neverwinter 1.5 with how everything is shifting around.
