Neverwinter Coming To Xbox One

Perfect World Entertainment has announced that Neverwinter will be coming to Xbox One, set for launch in early 2015. The console version, according to PWE, will lose little in translation and players will be able to enjoy all of the same races, classes, and maps. According to the lead producer in a talk with IGN, module releases that are currently live on PC will be rolled out individually in a staggered schedule. The announcement does not specify exactly what is being lost in translation from PC to console, other than the obvious lack of keyboard and mouse. The Xbox One will use separate servers than those on PC, with the friend list derived from Xbox Live.

Last December, Perfect World Entertainment announced the opening of a new division focused on bringing their games to home consoles. Chinese gamers will be happy to know that Neverwinter launches on the Xbox One in China late this fall.

Neverwinter’s Module 4: Tyranny of the Dragons is set to launch on August 14th, but Perfect World Entertainment has been filling that time by slowly revealing what is to come. We learned last week that the next class to be released is the Scourge Warlock. In a news post released today, Neverwinter has revealed that Module 4 will also introduce a new race to Neverwinter: The Dragonborn.

The Dragonborn are just that, children of the dragon god who have removed their shackles and embraced freedom. The only way to get your hands on the Dragonborn Race at the moment is by purchasing an expensive DLC package for $75 USD, regular price $99.

MMOments: Neverwinter Key Test


GameClient 2014-06-25 08-42-13-68

Neverwinter is a game that I’ve had quite a bit of fun in lately. Between the game’s constant events, my slow progress of leveling up my character, and distractions of daily life preventing me from playing too much, I finally managed to nearly hit the game’s level cap. As I write this, I’m sitting at around 75% of the way between level 59 and 60, and I figured why not put some money down and buy a bundle of keys just to see what I can get. For the record, I’ve spent $20 bucks on Neverwinter altogether so far. I used it to buy a bag of holding and some profession packs about six months ago.

With that in mind, I have never bought keys for lockboxes in an MMO (not counting Team Fortress 2), and I’m actually pretty intrigued as to what I’ll get. Aside from a whole box of disappointment, I’m not expecting much. The bundle of ten keys cost $11 bucks.

  • Box #1
    • 9 Tarmalune Trade Bars: Currency for the trade bar merchant. Most things cost between 500-1,000 bars.
    • 1 Corrupted Strongbox of Enchantments: I opened a lockbox and found another lockbox. This one contained a lesser plague fire enchantment.
  • Box #2
    • 6 Tarmalune Trade Bars: Oh goody.
    • Companion Fortification Kit: Another lockbox within a lockbox. This one contained runestones.
  • Box #3
    • Reghed Barbaric Relic: This is something that is used in the Icewind Dale campaign. I haven’t gotten that far in the quest line yet.
    • 6 Tarmalune Trade Bars: Oh joy.
  • Box #4
    • Iron Strongbox of Enchantments: It contained enchantments. None of them any good.
    • 5 Tarmalune Trade Bars: More of them.
  • Box #5
    • Planar Idol: Exchange this for an astral resonator which can be used to extract astral diamonds.
    • 4 Tarmalune Trade Bars
  • Box #6
    • Priceless Thayan Antiquity: Can exchange at a merchant.
    • 8 Tharmalune Trade Bars
  • Box #7
    • Priceless Thayan Antiquity
    • 4 Tharmalune Trade Bars
  • Box #8
    • Priceless Thayan Antiquity
    • 3 Tharmalune Trade Bars
  • Box #9
    • Artifact Provisions Pack: Contains stuff for refining runestones.
    • 4 Tharmalune trade bars.
  • Box #10
    • Corrupted Strongbox of Enchantments
    • 10 Tharmalune Bars

So there you have it. A whole lot of nothing. I coulda had a V8.
