The expansion adds new jobs, storylines, areas, quests, and gameplay systems, enriching the long‑standing MMO experience. The content is available on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2 (Japan only), and continues the game’s tradition of massive multiplayer adventure set in a fantasy world, rated T for teens.

Neverwinter is a free-to-play, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as it rises from the ashes of destruction, taking you from besieged walls to subterranean passageways. Set a hundred years after the Spellplague and decades after a devastating volcanic eruption, the Jewel of the North is being rebuilt under Lord Neverember's protection.
