GameClient 2016-02-16 21-36-13-52

Mark your calendars and prepare to call in sick, because March 15th marks the official launch date of Neverwinter’s next module, The Maze Engine. The update brings a plethora of new content and changes to existing features, including the return of dungeons and major tweaks to the mount system. Players who are interested in checking out the update before it goes live can sign on to the public test realm and copy their characters over.

The Maze Engine brings back numerous familiar faces from Drizzt, Minsc, Makos, and more.

Following the events of Neverwinter: Underdark, a new threat has waltzed its way into Neverwinter in the form of Baphomet, the Prince of Beasts. Baphomet seeks the ancient Maze Engine artifact in a quest to alter reality in his favor and bring about the destruction of Neverwinter. Thankfully, familiar faces such as Drizzt, Minsc, Linu, Makos and many more return to aid adventurers in their plight to take down the demon lord.

The Maze Engine also marks the return of Castle Never, where players will need to take on its new inhabitants.

I know what you’re thinking: “I want to play Star Citizen, but I don’t want to have to pay like five thousand bucks for a ship I’ll probably lose on day one.” You’re in luck, because Roberts Space Industries has announced that attendees to DragonCon are being given a free flight week-end to try out Star Citizen’s Arena Commander module. With the pass, you’ll be able to walk around the hanger module, sit in a trainer ship, and take flight in arena commander. The pass is active until September 5th.

But Connor, I hear you say, I can’t afford to go to DragonCon! Neither can I, which is why regardless of if you actually attended the convention, you can head on to the link below and use the code DRAGONFLIGHT2K14 to get in on the promotion anyway. Check it out and tell us what you think.
