The action MMO Neverwinter is coming to Xbox One in spring. For players with an Xbox Gold membership, it will be free to play.
From February 5th to 8th, Perfect World is planning a beta for Xbox One, for which you can register at this link now.
Neverwinter takes place in the “Forgotten Realms,” a setting from the world of Dungeons and Dragons, which some may recognize from Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or the single-player series Neverwinter.
It is a free-to-play game with strong action elements and a focus on group play in instances. Among today’s MMO titles, it comes closest to a type of dungeon crawler.
If it, like many games from Perfect World, continues toreceive criticism for asking too much money for premium items, it has managed to establish itself in the free-to-play PC market.
In China, the home market of Perfect World, the console version of Neverwinter was already released at the launch of Xbox One there. The game itself is thoroughly Western and feels very connected to the Wizards of The Coast and Dungeons and Dragons.
