Neverwinter's Tenth Expansion, Storm King's Thunder, Launches August 16th
Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment announced today that Neverwinter's tenth expansion, Storm King's Thunder, will be going live on PC on August 16th. The expansion will add "an exciting new end-game campaign, new dungeon tier and unique story" that is based on the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons adventure of the same name.
The expansion is described as follows.
Similar to the Storm King’s Thunder adventure coming to Dungeons & Dragons later this year, Neverwinter’s new expansion sees giants invade Neverwinter. Adventurers will travel north to Bryn Shander – the heart of the Ten Towns – to investigate the sudden presence of Frost Giants in the region. In order to fight off these colossal invaders, players must team up with popular characters from Dungeons & Dragons lore, including Catti-brie, Wulfgar and Harshnag.
In addition to the new Frost Giants story content, Storm King’s Thunder also introduces a brand new end-game campaign and new adventure zones for high-level players, including Bryn Shander, Cold Run and The Lonelywood. The expansion also marks the debut of a new dungeon tier with the addition of the new Tier 3 dungeon, Fangbreaker Island. With the release of Storm King’s Thunder, adventurers will also be able to equip their characters with new high-level gear.
You can get an early look at Storm King's Thunder in the video below. While it is launching on PC on August 16th, the expansion will not be available to console players until sometime after.
