Neverwinter: Storm King's Thunder Rolls In

Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment announced today that Neverwinter's latest expansion, Storm King's Thunder, is now live in the PC version of the game. The expansion adds a new, three-part campaign—each part takes place in its own new Adventure Zone—that pits players against Frost Giants, as well as a new dungeon and new enemies to face. The campaign is set in Icewind Dale and features familiar characters such as "Catti-brie, Wulfgar and Harshnag."

The full list of features is 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.

PC players can jump in and play Storm King's Thunder content right now. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will have to wait a bit longer until they can enter Neverwinter's take on Icewind Dale.
