Bulovski Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Title: Neverwinter Genre: Online RPG (Single / Multi) Publisher: Atari Developer: Cryptic Platform: PC Release: Late 2011 Speculate no longer, as Atari and Cryptic announced today Neverwinter, an all-new online game based on Wizards of the Coast's D&D brand and set in the fantasy universe's iconic city. Neverwinter is expected to launch for the PC in late 2011. Though it shares the name and many of the locales seen in BioWare's acclaimed role-playing game Neverwinter Nights, Cryptic's MMORPG will tell an alternately story, one in which the once mighty city has been decimated by a century of hardship. The land is plagued by civil war due to an unclear succession, a matter complicated by an actual plague that claimed the lives of many of the lands denizens. While Neverwinter will require players to connect to an online server to play, Cryptic stopped short of calling it a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. In the game, players can choose between one of five traditional D&D character classes. Gamers can then join five-man squads composed of other online players to venture forth into the city's dungeons, completing quests and gathering items along the way. Neverwinter also offers a single-player component, in which players can recruit computer-controlled allies to accomplish the same missions. True to the D&D experience, Neverwinter will also let players craft their own in-game storylines and quests by way of an in-game content-generation system currently known as "Forge." Additional details on Forge have not yet been revealed. The game will launch alongside a new trilogy of novels written by fantasy author R.A. Salvatore which are also set in the Forgotten Realms--the books will touch on the game's main characters, monsters, and storyline. Also planned for the launch of the online game is a new tabletop game from Dungeons & Dragons license owner Wizards of the Coast. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6273953.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Game seems to be pretty bad. Played few hours and meh. So dull and guided like you are 8. Cash shop everywhere Pay 2 Win. Why make F2P and then charge in-game? Just make it B2P >.> Combat is ugh..slash..slish..boom! Effects everywhere. Full screen covered with HUD. Quests (so far) are straight forward and easy. Each new zone area is the same rinse & repeat gameplay as the last. They just have a new visual theme and map but it doesn't really change. Overall: If you played GW2, WoW, RIFT..or any other MMO, you might not like this. ~5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
