New High-End Dungeon, Mysterious Death Curse Storyline and an Exotic Land Filled with Dinosaurs Await Players.
September 12, 2017 – Today, Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of free-to-play MMORPGs, and Cryptic Studios announced Neverwinter: Tomb of Annihilation is now available on Xbox One and PlayStation®4. A death curse grips the Forgotten Realms, threatening adventurers from being resurrected in this all-new expansion to the free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG. The dangerous peninsula of Chult sets the stage for console players’ latest adventure in Neverwinter, featuring a new jungle zone filled with dinosaurs, heroic encounters with the undead, new campaign and end-game dungeon as well as the introduction of monster maven Volothamp Geddarm (voiced by Dungeons & Dragons’ Chris Perkins).
The new social hub of Port Nyanzaru welcomes players to the mysterious land of Chult at the beginning of their journey. In an all-new campaign for consoles, players will hunt for the source of the death curse winding along the Soshenstar River, while fending off Yuan-ti, undead and dinosaurs. Old friends will band together against this new threat including Minsc, Boo, Celeste, the famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm, as well as an unexpected ally. A complete list of new features in Tomb of Annihilation on Xbox One and PlayStation®4 includes:
- Chult Jungle Adventure Zone: Explore the Soshenstar River Basin, locating clues and tracking the source of the mysterious Death Curse. Close encounters with prowling dinosaurs and deadly Yuan-ti await adventurers.
- Port Nyanzaru Social Hub: The port will not only grant adventurers safety from the various dangers of Chult, but also act as a home away from home. Vendors, quest-givers and more await in this new destination.
