Gearbox Publishing and Cryptic Studios announced during Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Direct that Neverwinter's 25th expansion, Menzoberranzan, is now available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The major update to the free-to-play D&D MMORPG marks the epic conclusion of a two-part storyline and campaign created in collaboration with New York Times bestselling authors RA Salvatore and Geno Salvatore. The story began in the previous expansion, Northdark Reaches.
Adventures in Menzoberranzan
For the first time in Neverwinter, players will have the opportunity to explore the drow city of Menzoberranzan, believed to be the fabled home of legendary D&D character Drizzt Do'Urden. In this new adventure inspired by RA Salvatore's popular book series, Way of the Drow, players will meet popular D&D characters like Drizzt and experience first-hand the events that take place between the last two books, Glacier's Edge and Lolth's Warrior.
Following the events of Northdark Reaches and the reunion with scout Braelin Janquay, Jarlaxle Baenre, leader of the Bregan D'aerthe mercenary force, has returned to Menzoberranzan. Civil war threatens to break out there, while rumors spread about a long-forgotten artifact that could turn the tide in Lolth's favor. Should such power fall into the wrong hands, the Underdark would descend into chaos. To avert civil war, players must return to the depths alongside the ex-Drinns of blasphemy and save Menzoberranzan from doom.
