Neverwinter: Storm King’s Thunder expansion releases October 18th on consoles

Perfect World and Cryptic Studios have finally announced that the Storm King's Thunder expansion, the game's 10th expansion, will release on Xbox One and PS4 October 18th. A very large expansion, it will include three new playable zones, a new campaign and a brand new tier 3 dungeon Fangbreaker Island.

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. 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. Once the battle has been won, they will continue on to Lonelywood and Cold Run, until they eventually reach Fangbreaker Island, a remote isle in the treacherous Sea of Moving Ice.

PS4 players will also see the Guild Alliances expansion arrive, which allows any number of guilds to combine in order to level up players faster, reach higher boon unlocks and compete in Dragonflight events in order to earn better gear.

Neverwinter just hit over 2 million players on PS4 alone with over 12 million across all three platforms. It is available now free to play on all consoles.
