Neverwinter announces summer PS4 launch and Storm King’s Thunder expansion

D&D-flavored MMO Neverwinter has posted two huge announcements this week: First, the PC-and-Xbone MMORPG is bound for the PlayStation 4 this summer. “We are also happy to announce that Neverwinter on PlayStation 4 will be free-to-play for all PlayStation 4 owners as you will not require PlayStation Plus to dive into this full-fledged MMORPG experience,” says Perfect World.

Second, PC players have reason to cheer too as the studio has announced the game’s 10th expansion, Storm King’s Thunder, for August.

“Adventurers will travel north to Bryn Shander – capital of Icewind Dale – to investigate the sudden presence of frost giants in the region. No visit to Icewind Dale would be complete without the help of Catti-brie and Wulfgar – characters from R.A. Salvatore’s novels – who will aid adventurers in their quest to stop the invading giants. High-level adventurers will also experience a new campaign, which will take them across three new adventure zones and story content for Neverwinter: Storm King’s Thunder. In addition, our newest expansion will introduce a new tier of Dungeon for adventurers seeking a challenge.”

It’ll be on the console platforms later as always, too. Check out the new trailers below!
