Neverwinter MMO Adding New Module Inspired By The D&D Movie

Neverwinter: Red Harvest Arc Games Today, Arc Games revealed the next upcoming module for the Neverwinter MMO is named Red Harvest and it features a brand-new Adventure Zone with maps directly inspired by the excellent (and underrated) Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves film. Taking notes from the film, this new module will depict the Red Wizards of Thay as you help lead a resistance movement alongside Sergeant Knox and the Harpers. The main draw of this module will be the new Adventure Zone: Tyraturos, Tower District. Verticality will play a key role here as you traverse multiple neighborhoods and ascend a massive tower, completing quests. There's also a new Trial, Shackles of Divinity, which is described as a 'return to the epic, mechanics-driven boss battles that define Neverwinter's most legendary trials,' so that should be a big hit for fans. You'll be able to play this new trial on either Normal mode, which is included in the random trial queue for matchmaking, Advanced Mode, which is a little bit harder, and Master Mode, which puts a heavy emphasis on mastering the trial's mechanics with heavily ramped up difficulty. On top of all the new content, there is of course a slew of new things to buy if you so desire like a new BattlePass dubbed Dead to Rites, various Red Harvest bundles and packs, as well as generalized bundles with other cosmetics and perks. Neverwinter: Red Harvest Arc Games Personally, it's been a while since I played Neverwinter. I remember when the game first launched years ago and sinking a ton of time into the main campaign, returning for some new classes over the years, and dabbling in it here and there over time. There's just a ton of content at this point to sink your teeth into and it's always had a good reputation. The ability to drop-in and out over time without feeling like you're wasting money or shirking a commitment is a big part of what makes free-to-play MMOs appealing. I'm definitely not a 'one-game-only' kind of a guy. One of the main things that always appealed to me about Neverwinter is that they do a wonderful job of capturing the tone and feel of the Forgotten Realms, but it doesn't get bogged down in trying to stick to the rulesets of tabletop Dungeons & Dragons too strictly. Combat is more action-packed and fast-paced than a typical D&D video game, but they've still adapted the rules to include the features you'd expect. It's just a very solid and easy to pick-up-and-play interpretation with fun gameplay. The new Red Harvest module launches for Neverwinter on May 6 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
