[Play free now] Perfect World Entertainment and developer Cryptic Studios today announced Neverwinter: The Cloaked Ascendancy is now available for Windows PC worldwide, and will be released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year. The city of Neverwinter is under attack by the Cloaked Ascendancy, a group of four mages ripped from the Cloak Tower during the Spellplague.
Their immense power is derived from the Far Realm and they’re wielding it to claim the throne from Lord Neverember. The latest update set in the Forgotten Realms features a new campaign, adventure zone, re-vamped dungeon, skirmish and more. Following the events of Storm King’s Thunder, adventurers begin The Cloaked Ascendancy by returning to mourn the loss of a hero and friend.
When the ceremony is interrupted by Gyrion and his mages, adventurers set out to stop their evil plot. The River District, a new adventure zone, sets the stage for players to complete an all-new campaign; battle in a skirmish, conquer a re-vamped high-end Spellplague Caverns dungeon and more. Seen below is an extensive list of the new features found in The Cloaked Ascendancy update.
New Adventure Zone: Following its recent reclamation, The River District is quickly annexed by the Cloaked Ascendancy and serves as the setting for much of this new expansion.
New Campaign: Drive the Cloaked Ascendancy from the River District to return it to its former glory and restore Neverwinter.
Spellplague Caverns Dungeon: The culmination of The Cloaked Ascendancy, adventurers will experience the returning dungeon in an all-new epic version, as well as a levelling version.
New Skirmish: “The Illusionist’s Gambit” presents an all-new highly dynamic challenge to adventurers where each attempt at the skirmish can be completely different than the last.
New Artifact Weapons: Themed after the many locales players will explore in The Cloaked Ascendancy, these new weapons allow adventurers to harness the power of the Far Realm.
