Neverwinter's latest module, Storm King's Thunder, arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One today, just two months after its release on PC. The module introduces three new adventure zones—Bryn Shander, Cold Run, and Lonelywood—as well as a new Tier 3 Dungeon, adjustments to overall class balance, and more. The PlayStation 4 version also received The Maze Engine: Guild Alliances update today, ensuring that it is up to date with the Xbox One version.

The update's key features are as follows.

  • New Campaign – The new end-game campaign for Storm King’s Thunder is broken down into three parts, each unlocking a new adventure zone. When all three zones are cleared, players will have access to the dungeon on Fangbreaker Island.
  • Three New Adventure Zones
    • Bryn Shander – Adventurers must visit this remote settlement in Icewind Dale to save its inhabitants from attackers.
    • Lonelywood – After clearing Bryn Shander, players will move on to the town of Lonelywood, where they will fight off trolls and other beasts.
    • Cold Run – The last adventure zone is the frigid coastline of Cold Run, where adventurers will come face to face with the mighty frost giants.
  • New Tier 3 Dungeon – Adventurers will need to complete the new Storm King’s Thunder campaign and equip their characters with high-level gear in order to access Fangbreaker Island, the most difficult five-player dungeon in the game.
  • Class Balance Adjustments – In an ongoing effort to maintain balance for Neverwinter, we’ve made major adjustment to three classes, the Hunter Ranger, Scourge Warlock and Guardian Fighter.
  • New Bosses and Enemies – Besides defending the land from frost giants, players will fight off swarms of arctic beasts, as well as three new bosses who rule over Fangbreaker Island.
  • The Maze Engine: Guild Alliances for PlayStation®4 – Guilds of all sizes can form alliances with one another to strengthen their strongholds, team up to level them faster and earn better rewards for both guilds.
  • Sword Coast Chronicle for PlayStation®4 – Quality of life update to guide players towards end-game campaigns, completing heroic deeds along the way.
