Neverwinter’s D&D Campaigns Return This Week


If you’ve ever been playing Neverwinter and found the game severely lacking in characters mocking your actions, you’re in luck. Beginning this Thursday and running for a month, players will once again have access to Respen and Portobello’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Adventurers interested in getting their 20-sided dice dirty will have the opportunity to get their hands on a number of rewards like the owlbear figurine and Beholder personal tank.

Both Respen’s and Portobello’s campaigns will be occurring during this time, each with tasks to offer during the month-long event. In between evaluations at the Burrow Dawn Inn, don’t forget to check the event queues for new ways to be tested! A new queue will open up each week, so be sure to check back regularly!

The event brings a new campaign each week, check out the link below to see how to get started.

Perfect World Entertainment has formally announced the release of Neverwinter’s next expansion: Storm King’s Thunder. Set for launch next month, Storm King’s Thunder introduces a new end-game campaign as well as a new dungeon tier and new stories based on the upcoming adventure from Wizards of the Coast.

In addition to the new Frost Giants story content, Storm King’s Thunder also introduces a brand new end-game campaign and new adventure zones for high-level players, including Bryn Shander, Cold Run and The Lonelywood. The expansion also marks the debut of a new dungeon tier with the addition of the new Tier 3 dungeon, Fangbreaker Island. With the release of Storm King’s Thunder,adventurers will also be able to score new high-level equipment to equip their characters with the latest gear.

Storm King’s Thunder hits PC on August 16 with console release coming at a later date.

Albion Online Releases Aurelius Update

Albion Online continues to march its way through beta, with the latest update introducing multiple user-friendly features. While player vs player combat is the focus of Albion, the developers recognize that players still want traditional MMO features like dungeons. The Aurelius update introduces three new ‘safe zone hellgates,’ allowing players to raid with a safer environment.

Safe Zone Hellgates offer an introduction to PvP. Five players can enter a hell dungeon where they must face mighty demons – and possibly other players that are also after the precious loot. Hellgates in safe zones utilize yellow zone PvP rules – knockdown only and no full loot, making them a perfect starting point for newer citizens of Albion to begin their PvP adventures.

The update also introduces a new interface, as well as improved controls to allow the player to stay in combat. You can find the entire list of patch notes below.
