Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios are pleased to announce that the widely-acclaimed MMORPG Neverwinter is launching its first content expansion, Fury of the Feywild, on August 22, 2013. This free Module allows players to explore the enchanted woods of Sharandar, play as Sun and Moon Elves, collect new weapons and items, earn new rewards, encounter new creatures, and much more.
“We’re excited to announce the release date of our first free expansion — what we and D&D fans call a Module — for Neverwinter.” said Cryptic Studios CEO, Jack Emmert. “Come August 22, we’re releasing our first expansion. That’s less than two months from launch; pretty cool. New and exciting content is at the heart of making and expanding a persistent world. Our goal is to deliver engaging and constant updates to our players so that they always have something new to discover in game. Fury of the Feywild is the first of many Modules to come in Neverwinter.”
Fury of the Feywild, the first Module for Neverwinter, is a free content expansion that chronicles an attempt by Fomorian Giants to seize the Elven outpost of Sharandar.
“This new content for Neverwinter continues to support our goal of creating fantastic digital D&D experiences,” said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for D&D at Wizards of the Coast. “Neverwinter is one of D&D’s most iconic settings, and Fury of the Feywild is a fantastic addition to keep this exciting story going.”
