Neverwinter's next module Tyranny of Dragons to launch August 14

Like tyranny? Love dragons? Then the Neverwinter MMO’s next module, Tyranny of Dragons, could be just right for you. The content update will bring a new storyline ”bridging characters and narrative between the MMO and tabletop game.”

It’s coming August 14, hot on the heels of the recently released Curse of Icewind Dale, and though we don’t know much about the planned content yet, it’s safe to assume we’ll be battling a series of wannabe Smaugs.

That August 14 date is around the same time as the much anticipated next version of the D&D tabletop RPG, which launches with part one of a dragon-themed adventure also called Tyranny of Dragons. Makes sense for Wizards of the Coast to experiment with some kind of crossover between D&D’s digital and tabletop worlds.

“This is a pivotal year for Dungeons & Dragons and we are thrilled to have Perfect World and Cryptic on board to make Neverwinter a key part of the D&D experience as we transition to the future,” said Nathan Stewart, Dungeons & Dragons Brand Director. “The new Tyranny of Dragons module is just the beginning of us bringing our new serialized entertainment to the fans of both tabletop and digital games.”

More information on the new content as soon as we get it.
