Perfect World and Cryptic Studios have announced that Neverwinter: The Maze Engine expansion will be releasing in May on Xbox One. It's the game's eighth expansion on Xbox One and will feature a campaign centered around mounts and their new upgrade abilities. The same expansion launched on PC back on March 15th.
The story of Neverwinter: The Maze Engine follows the events of the previous expansion – Neverwinter: Underdark. Adventurers have quelled the efforts of Demogorgon, though some demons continue to make their way into the Forgotten Realms. Now, two new demon lords – Baphomet and Orcus – have appeared, bringing a new, terrible threat to the realm. Adventurers now must band together with iconic heroes including Drizzt Do’Urden, Minsc, Bruenor Battlehammer, Regis, and more to face off against new evil.
The new expansion to Neverwinter also sees the return of four leveling dungeons that have been reworked to offer more content as players push toward the level 70 cap. In addition, Castle Never, one of the hardest dungeons previously in the game, has received a massive overhaul as Orcus has taken over following Valindra’s exodus. Neverwinter: The Maze Engine will also bring new gameplay updates, including a new campaign, an upgraded mount system that offers further customization for players, and an improved queue system.
