Gearbox Publishing and the developers at Cryptic Studios have announced the 25th expansion to Neverwinter called “Menzoberranzan” – and it’s not long in coming. From March 28th you should be able to get started on PC, PlayStation and Xbox alike.

The latest add-on to the free-to-play MMORPG marks the conclusion of a two-part storyline and campaign created in collaboration with best-selling authors RA Salvatore and Geno Salvatore. Part 1 is already available in the form of the expansion “Northdark Reaches”.

For the first time in the second part, you get the opportunity to explore the drow city of Menzoberranzan – and with it the legendary home of the cult character Drizzt Do’Urden. Inspired by Salvatore’s “Way of the Drow” book series, you will meet Drizzt as well as other popular D&D protagonists and experience the events between the last two books “Glacier’s Edge” and “Lolth’s Warrior” up close.
