whatever hero you create, incredible adventures await. Slink through the shadows as a deadly half-elven rogue, wield fearsome magics as a powerful gnomish sorcerer, vanquish your foes as an armor-clad dwarven paladin. But this trailer-which is a victory lap full of recent years' updates to Neverwinter-was too good to pass by, especially for cinematic trailers which usually do nothing for me.The award-winning Dungeons & Dragons RPG returns, with classic adventures for modern heroes! Dive into a rich fantasy world with 100+ hours of play, including the original campaign, expansions, and more! Neverwinter is out on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. I have no doubt that mind-blowing compositions and musical hijinks will both ensue. What would it take to pull me away from my play-by-post D&D group's Slack channel? Quite possibly this dope soundtrack, these slo-mo panoramas, and the prospect of playing a bard (quite possibly the class of choice for 'forever dungeon masters').īesides, the bard gets a Free Perform Mode where they use their equipped instrument to freely create and play their own songs for other adventurers to enjoy. But again, this one trailer has me suddenly eyeballing that download button. But my beloved D&D has never felt completely at home on a machine. See, I try not to let it cloud my judgment too much, but I'm real snobby when it comes to pen-and-pad RPGs vs.

It's this cinematic banger of a trailer that feels part miniature tabletop wargaming, part tilt-shifted photography art class, and part victory lap for Dungeons & Dragons properties as a whole. Developer Cryptic is relentless.īut what sets this update apart isn't just the corny fedora and goatee-rocking bard that's just been added as a playable character class. I mean, didn't they just launch the Feywild Sharandar? Didn't they just launch the Infernal Avernus? Now it's the Jewel of the North. Seems like Neverwinter, the eight-year-old free-to-play MMO, gets a major update every five or six weeks.
