Neverwinter's Cloaked Ascendancy Is Causing Trouble On Consoles Today
In February, Neverwinter's PC playerbase was treated to The Cloaked Ascendancy, a new module in which players were required to keep the throne of Neverwinter from being stolen by mages that had "annexed" the city's River District. Among other additions, the update brought with it the first adventure zone that was "designed with player choice in mind." It was a fairly big milestone. There's just one problem: Console users were unable to take part.
That all changes today, as The Cloaked Ascendancy went live in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Neverwinter earlier today. For those that need a recap of the game's key features, they are as follows.
- New Adventure Zone: Following its recent reclamation, the River District becomes home to the Cloaked Ascendancy, with various areas reflecting the mage occupying them.
- New Campaign: Reclaim the River District from the Cloaked Ascendancy one quest at a time to help return it to the bustling economic center it was before the eruption of Mt. Hotenow.
- Spellplague Caverns Dungeon:The Cloaked Ascendancy culminates in a return to an original Neverwinter location for a master dungeon where players will face off with members of the Cloaked Ascendancy. Both the new master and returning levelling versions of the dungeon yield new loot.
- New Skirmish: “The Illusionist’s Gambit” offers a dynamic challenge for both max and low-level adventurers. Enemies, settings and challenges will shift randomly each round, creating new experiences every playthrough.
- New Artifact Weapons: Players can earn four new weapon sets harnessing the power of the Cloaked Ascendancy mages. Harness the power of the Far Realm with the Mirage, Fey, Lifeforged and Aboleth weapons.
Those who have already downloaded Neverwinter on either platform can download the update now. If you have not yet downloaded Neverwinter, it is available now on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and the PlayStation Store.
