Neverwinter Online, the popular Massively Multiplayer Online RPG from Perfect World, will hit Xbox One exclusively in 2015. The Cryptic-developed MMO will hit China first this September, then other territories next year.
What is Neverwinter Online? Check out this trailer.
Sadly, cross-platform play will not be available, so Xbox One gamers will not be able to play with PC gamers (hopefully they will fix this in the future).
The game will include all of the gameplay and features of the PC version, including “all the same races, all the same classes, and all the same maps. The content will be there with some minor exceptions,” stated lead producer Andy Velasquez.
Neverwinter Online Synopsis
Neverwinter is a free-to-play, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Epic stories, action combat and classic roleplaying await those heroes courageous enough to enter the fantastic world of Neverwinter!
Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as it rises from the ashes of destruction. This immersive MMORPG will take you from the besieged walls of the city to subterranean passageways in search of forgotten secrets and lost treasure.
Key Neverwinter Online Features:
Completely Free-to-Play
You don’t have to pay to adventure. From level 1 to the level cap, all playable content in Neverwinter is free for everyone to experience.
Engaging Action Combat
You can forget about tab-targeting or auto-attacking your enemies to death. Neverwinter provides an amazing combat experience where every action requires planning, feels visceral, and looks spectacular.

You might choose to adventure as a hearty Guardian Fighter, deceive foes as a Trickster Rogue, follow the righteous path as a Devoted Cleric, or more! On your journey through Neverwinter and the surrounding lands, you will face Kobolds, Beholders, Mimics, and other nasty creatures of the D&D universe.
