[Play free now] Perfect World Entertainment and developer Cryptic Studios today revealed Neverwinter’s 17th module, Uprising, is coming to PC on August 13.. The latest content update for the Free-to-Play MMORPG set in the Forgotten Realms introduces an all-new playable race, Gith. These psionic warriors are seeking retribution against the monstrous Illithid, intruding on Halaster Blackcloak’s lair of Undermountain, which culminates in a 10-player Endgame Trial against the Mad Mage himself. This update also includes fresh PvP content, a renovated Protector’s Enclave, recrafted Early Game experience and much more.
The conflict between the Illithid and the Gith erupts within the caverns of Undermountain, offering players the unique opportunity to challenge Halaster Blackcloak in an endgame, 10-player trail when he emerges to deal with these threats to his realm. Adventurers’ extended stay in Undermountain was very prosperous for Protector’s Enclave, leading to renovations across the city. Users setting forth into Protector’s Enclave and beyond will also find an updated early game experience with changes made to several zones and stories.
Following the class optimizations in the Undermountain update, players can look forward to an all-new PvP map and gear to earn. The highly-anticipated fashion system overhaul will keep adventurers looking their best, and an additional ‘Tales of Old’ event will revive more dungeons from the past, giving players more dungeons than before to explore and hunt!
