Following its launch on PC, Neverwinter players on Xbox and Playstation are finally able to get their hands on the latest module: Storm King’s Thunder. Deployed today to live servers, the latest Neverwinter module tasks adventurers with fighting off invading giants in Icewind Dale. The update introduces a new campaign, three new adventure zones, a tier-3 dungeon, class balances, new bosses and enemies, and more.
Storm King’s Thunder begins as frost giants force their way into the northern regions of the Sword Coast, creating a call-to-arms for Neverwinter’s strongest to defend the land from these gargantuan invaders. Adventurers will travel to Bryn Shander, the largest settlement within the Ten Towns, to save the townsfolk from attack, learning a powerful artifact, the Ring of Winter, was stolen along the way. To defeat the frost giant threat, players will need to enlist the help of classic Dungeons & Dragons characters such as Catti-brie, Wulfgar and Harshnag.
Gamers on Playstation will also be able to take part in guild alliances, allowing smaller guilds to strengthen their strongholds, level them faster, and gain better rewards.
Perfect World Entertainment has announced that Sea of Moving Ice, the followup to Neverwinter’s latest expansion Storm King’s Thunder, will launch November 8th. Picking up where Storm King’s Thunder left off, Sea of Moving Ice will see players sent to take on Jarl Storvald, a new villain who threatens to cover the land in a permanent winter.
Sail the seas in your new boat, see what new fish you can catch from the icy depths, discover parts of a treasure map, and hunt down pieces of the new artifact weapons.
Sea of Moving Ice hits shore on November 8th. For more information, check out the official website.
