Neverwinter: The Cloaked Ascendancy expansion announced, releases in February

Perfect World and Cryptic Studios announced their newest expansion to release for Neverwinter in The Cloaked Ascendancy. It will release on PC first followed by PS4 and Xbox One as is the norm. The Spellplague continues to cast a shadow over Neverwinter, as four mages torn from the Cloak Tower by a spell storm return to usurp the throne.

The Cloaked Ascendancy begins following the harrowing events of Storm King’s Thunder in the northern reaches of Faerûn, as adventurers return to the city to honor a fallen hero. However, Gyrion the Ascendant and other former residents of the Cloak Tower, ravaged and reformed by the Far Realm, appear ready to wield their awesome magical powers against Neverwinter as the Cloaked Ascendancy. Players will brave their way through the latest adventure zone, The River District, to experience a new campaign exploring the trials of these powerful foes and uncovering their hidden motives.

The Cloaked Ascendancy culminates in an epic return to the new high-end dungeon, Spellplague Caverns, which is now firmly under the control of the Cloaked Ascendancy. Players will also experience a new skirmish, loaded with innovative gameplay, and the original Spellplague Caverns which will be returning as a leveling dungeon.

Storm King's Thunder ended with players saving the land from an eternal winter by rescuing Bryn Shandar and the Cold Run from the Frost Giants. The Cloaked Ascendancy will release on PC February 21st with Xbox One and PS4 at a later date. Most expansions have hit consoles about six weeks later, so we'll have to wait and see.
