The Neverwinter site has been updated with a new blog post that introduces the new Challenge Campaigns that are designed to bring relevance back to older areas to make them more attractive to endgame players. Campaigns that are considered older and that are not leveling zones will be “scaled to offer a consistent challenge when adventuring in their zones”. Three weekly quests sending players off to these specially-designated zones will also be available in Protector’s Enclave.

The Neverwinter site has a pair of new blog posts that detail “dramatic changes” coming with the Undermountain expansion. The goal of the Cleric changes is to make “healing more significant than ever”. For Paladins, alterations “will make healing more significant than ever and change tanking dramatically”.

The Neverwinter site has been updated with a new developer blog that showcases some big changes coming to the Boon System. Most notably, the team recognized the need for a unified UI to show all Boons on a single interface. In addition, Boons have now been grouped into five Tiers, with each tier offering more options “allowing you to invest points into the boons you feel most benefit your playstyle or build”.

Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment have announced that Undermountain is the next expansion coming to Neverwinter. The “largest expansion ever” will be arriving for PC players this Spring and at a later date for consoles. Players will be heading off to an massive dungeon beneath Waterdeep and content will include a level cap increase, five new Adventure Zones, the Yawning Portal Tavern social hub, a new endgame dungeon, and much more.

From January 31st to February 7th, Neverwinter players will be able to take part in the Feast of Lanterns. The new event celebrates the Year of the Boar and offers players a number of quests including helping set up nightly fireworks, delivering red envelopes and comforting dogs frightened by the fireworks.

Perfect World has sent word that the latest chapter in the ongoing Neverwinter saga is now available for XBox One and PlayStation 4. The Heart of Fire brings Acquisitions Incorporated characters into the game to take part in an original campaign penned by Penny Arcade founders Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik.

Neverwinter players on both XBox One and PlayStation 4 will be able to check out the Heart of Fire content expansion starting January 15th. The story is penned by the founders of Penny Arcade and sends players off on “an exciting path through the ranks of the famous adventuring company (Acquisitions Incorporated), from eager intern to a grizzled, full-fledged team member”.

The Siege of Neverwinter event is incoming and is expected to kick off on November 29th and last through December 13th. During the event, players can take part in a number of activities including stemming the Cult Invasion, taking the fight to the cult in Counter Attack or head into battle against dragons themselves. Participation will net players specially themed Dragon Hoard Coins, Dragon Hoard Coffers and other items from the Tyranny of Dragons campaign.

Neverwinter for PC has been updated to bring the Heart of Fire content expansion online that is packed with Acquisitions Incorporated storyline penned by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the founders of Penny Arcade. The new story “takes players from the new Acquisitions Incorporated headquarters in Protector’s Enclave and sends them across the Sword Coast in search of treasure”. It also features signature humor and the Manycoins Bank Heist Skirmish.

From October 23rd through November 6th, Neverwinter players can take part in the fun and frivolity of the Masquerade of Liars event. During the event, players can take part in daily quests and curry favor with any one of three factions “each with their own agenda and rewards”. Of course, no event is complete without sweet loot and Neverwinter is no exception.
