The Strongholds expansion for free-to-play MMO Neverwinter is out now. Let’s all watch a trailer narrated by a slightly over-excited man.
Strongholds adds the largest map in the game yet, a sprawling, open environment with a derelict keep. You and your Guild can reclaim the fortress, upgrade it through questing and crafting, and ultimately take on other Guilds in a new, MOBA-inspired, three-lane, 20 versus 20 skirmish map.
“The launch of Neverwinter: Strongholds builds upon existing guild content with the ability to customize an in-game stronghold based on a guild’s needs and playstyle,” says developer Cryptic Studios. “The newest expansion also introduces most challenging guild-based battles: Greed of the Dragonflight. The guild, as a group, must defend their lands from four dragons in order to gain access to some of Neverwinter’s most powerful gear.”
The PVP content will be added in an additional update on September 15. The rest of Strongholds is available now.
