The Cryptic Studios have now announced “Ravenloft,” the latest module for the MMORPG Neverwinter. The addon strongly resembles horror. A sub-genre that only a few MMORPGs cater to. Release is on June 26 for PC. Neverwinter players on PS4 and Xbox One will have to wait.
Ravenloft may ring a bell for some fans of the D&D Pen & Paper RPGs. It is a classic campaign world. There, pure horror reigns in the form of vampires, undead, and werewolves. The adventures will take you into this world, as a bridge between the worlds has opened.
It looks like Neverwinter is getting some classic horror elements. The selection for MMORPGs is quite limited.

You must survive the horror of Castle Ravenloft and free the land of Barovia from the dark lord.
