Neverwinter Coming to PS4 This Summer

Alex Monney's Avatar Posted by on Jun 01, 2016 // Communications Manager, Perfect World Entertainment

We’re proud to announce that Neverwinter is coming to PlayStation 4 in summer 2016! Almost three years after our initial launch on PC, millions of adventurers have travelled along the Sword Coast to slay the mightiest of foes and to form the most courageous of parties. We can’t wait to welcome in a new group of adventurers to Neverwinter and eagerly await their arrival. Here’s your first glimpse of the adventures that await you in Neverwinter!

Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG that transports players into the Forgotten Realms, where they will explore a fully realized experience based on the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. When Neverwinter arrives on PlayStation 4, it will feature all existing content from the base game, including eight playable classes and nine expansions worth of content giving you hundreds of quests to play through.

Fight against the likes of Tiamat, Demogorgon, Orcus, Valindra and many more sinister enemies from Dungeons & Dragons lore. Adventurers will also travel through iconic locations such as Icewind Dale and the Underdark while teaming up with characters straight from the novels of acclaimed author R.A. Salvatore, including Drizzt Do’Urden.

Neverwinter: Orcus

Neverwinter: Valindra BattleNeverwinter: Sharandar

We are also happy to announce that Neverwinter on PlayStation 4 will be free-to-play for all PlayStation 4 owners as you will not require PlayStation Plus to dive into this full-fledged MMORPG experience.

Are you ready to defend the realms? What class are you planning to play? We look forward to seeing all of PlayStation Nation in the city of Neverwinter later this year.

Actually pretty excited about this, but have to ask: cross-play with PC? I would finally have a game to play with my brother across the country.

    As of now, we do not have plans for cross-play with PC. Our team wants to make sure that there is a level playing field when adventurers jump into Neverwinter on PS4 for the first time.

    Makes sense. Thanks for the reply! Still looking forward to giving it a try.

    If you really need an online game to cross-play with PC, I would recommend Final Fantasy 14. It cross-plays with PC very nicely. It does have a subscription fee, but it is worth it.

    They should so let us port accounts from pc to ps4, I have so much money tied up in the game over there.

    Save yourself the cash…don’t pay for FF14…it’s really not worth it. If it was a f2p game, then it would be worth it.

    That said I have been waiting for Neverwinter since I knew it became available for Xbox One! Eagerly awaiting, impatiently I might add! :P

    Now that it’s finally coming I am a much happier man now :D

This can’t be a coincidence… Just a while ago I was thinking of playing a MMORPG and Neverwinter came to mind (since I have it on the competitor’s console but have never touched it since I prefer playing on PS4, of course) and was wondering when it’ll come to PS4… And now I see this O.o.

Thank you so much! =D.

This is so funny. I was going to get this on Xbox and said to my friend “Hey wouldn’t it be funny if Never Winter came to PS4 being that DCUO going to Xbox?”. Behold!

Will we be able to play with PC accounts? I have played it on PC, but stopped sometime ago. I would like to go back to it on PS4, but I don’t want to start all over again.

    Believe me, I play SWTOR just about everyday. I wish too swtor was coming to the PS4.. but it would have to have keyboard and mouse support. This can be done, because FF14 has keyboard and mouse support on the ps4, so I don’t see why Bioware can support swtor on PS4. Can you imagine how awesome it would be to have SWTOR on the ps4? By the way, if you still play on PC.. look me up in game. name is “Treylos Stormjaeger”

Always looking for my next mmo fix, any vets out there able to tell me if this mmo has the classic holy trinity going on? As in Tank, healer, dps? If so i’m all in, i miss tanking badly since i stopped playing WoW.

    + Alex Monney on June 2nd, 2016 at 10:14 am said:

    We absolutely have character classes that represent a tank, healer and DPS. If you’re looking to tank, I would definitely check out the Guardian Fighter or Oathbound Paladin when we launch. Both classes (and all our classes actually) will be free when we launch.


     

    + Astoric on June 2nd, 2016 at 8:41 am said:

    Yes it does they though currently they only have on healer which is the cleric I currently play on the xbox but as soon as it comes to ps4 I will be switching and for a tank I would greatly suggest the oath bound pally they are very op at the moment almost unkillable pve

Finally! 3 long years… I played almost all ad&d and DnD games but never neverwinter… So glad!

My only fear: its not roleplaying oriented like the old neverwinter nights?

    + Alex Monney on June 2nd, 2016 at 10:16 am said:

    Our game is definitely different than Neverwinter Nights. However, if you are a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, our game actually evolves with the current stories that Wizards of the Coast is creating. We actually just announced that we will have content coming that explores the narrative of their new tabletop expansion – Storm King’s Thunder. The world of Neverwinter will continue to evolve after our original launch.


     

    + cusman on June 2nd, 2016 at 11:42 am said:

    It is an MMORPG, which means quests and loot and mining and grinding and raiding for endless play potential.

    It is a F2P, which means lots and lots of grinding, and / or pay for loot rolls or drop boosts for % chance to get loot you want for endless paying potential.

Like many folks here have stated I also have it on Xbox and haven’t played it much. I’m mostly on PS4 so this is definitely some good new to read about.

I prophesied years ago that Perfect World would be bringing it’s MMORPG catalogue to consoles. First Star Trek Online( Epic), now Neverwinter. I hope Champions comes over. That game was made with consoles in mind and the controller layout for it was one of the first to do it right and do it well. Keep em’ coming PW! :D

+ MeetDKing on June 2nd, 2016 at 7:06 am said:

This game is great fun during the leveling up process so in that regard I recommend it to everyone who may even be the slightest bit interested. After that it is definitely pay to win and Perfect World is not shy about directing Cryptic to charge crazy prices like $30 for a single mount or companion. The whole refining process of enchantments and artifacts is designed to try and get you to spend as much money as you can with it’s $10 coalescent wards.

Also get used to a lot of nerfs especially with new modules (expansions). While they have a ‘beta’ process for them they never listen to feedback and release things with problems or concerns that were reported in their forums many times. Then when they try to’fix’ tings they overreact and bring a sword instead of a scalpel. Don’t take my word for it go check out the forums for yourself.

Don’t get me wrong, even with all its faults, I still play this game on PC and will probably mess around with it when it comes to PS4. Just be aware of what you’re getting into.

Pros: I love the combat
Cons: I find the monetization disgusting.

    + MeetDKing on June 3rd, 2016 at 5:17 pm said:

    Neverwinter was actually shown (showcased?) at the 2014 E3 as coming to PS4. You can find it mentioned on the EU blogcast page. However on 16-Jul-2015 Neverwinter was removed but if you use the wayback site (web.archive.org) you can see it there.. To find the particular page just google “guns-fat-princess-pain-among-new-free-play-games-unveiled-e3”. Once you have the address enter it into the wayback site. I’d post a direct link but I am not sure that’s allowed.

    Coincidentally Jul-2015s was around the same time as the Xbox One version was announced. I can only guess that Microsoft bought a year of timed-exclusivity.

Hello Alex Monney,
Me and my wife were very big fans of Everquest Online Adventures on the PS2, and Final Fantasy XIV Online. We both love MMORPGS with open worlds, is this an open world game? I have watched a lot of game play on YouTube and it looks soooo fun! Thank you so much for bringing this to the PlayStation 4 as a free to play game. Im realy looking forward to the release!
Thanks, Artilleo.


     

    + MeetDKing on June 3rd, 2016 at 5:23 pm said:

    I wouldn’t classify this as open world. There are different ‘zones’ you go to. Once you are in a particular one you can go anywhere in that area but the whole world itself it not open to direct travel (as in you can’t walk from one side of the wold to the other) other than at travel gates where you can go to new areas.
