Neverwinter Launches Their Largest Expansion With Undermountain

Neverwinter has officially launched it's largest expansion to date with Undermountain, and they even released a trailer to show it off. This trailer gives you about as gorgeous of a map as you'll ever see of the never-ending pits of challenges that await you, filled with creatures so terrifying you'll run like hell, and treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Check out the video below along with all the features the new expansion has to offer before you go diving down the well.

• Undermountain Campaign – The many levels of Undermountain hold secrets, exceptional rewards, wondrous beasts and remarkable experiences. The Mad Mage has called adventurers to the cavernous halls below Waterdeep, but for what purpose? Players must survive five brand new Adventure Zones to find out.

• New Expedition Feature – This all-new feature introduced in Undermountain highlights the unknowable nature of the levels beneath Waterdeep. Expeditions will challenge adventurers with scaling, dynamic, repeatable quests in the search for magic relics, lost routes and some of the expansion's greatest rewards.

• Class Revamps – All eight of Neverwinter's classes will receive varying levels of balance and adjustments in this expansion. Each class has also been renamed to align with Fifth Edition. The goal with these changes is to align classes with their roles and make customization within each path viable, fun and more straightforward.

• Rewards Overhaul – The most notorious dungeon in all of Faerûn will reward adventurers with the best loot in all of Neverwinter. With a level cap increase to 80, new sources of powerful loot including tiered artifact sets can be earned throughout Undermountain and from its caverns' inhabitants.

• Endgame Challenge Campaign – Neverwinter's many older and non-leveling-zone campaigns now offer three weekly bounties earning currency for rewards that are in-line with their endgame characters, regardless of whether the zone these quests were completed in are considered "Endgame", e.g., Underdark or Sharandar.

• Redesigned Companions System – Player Companions now fall into one of five categories. The more companions owned within each category, the stronger active companions will be with power upgrades. Synergy will create the biggest bonuses, however, the goal of these changes is to ensure all players can use whichever companions that they want, without punishment.

• Halaster Encounters – The Mad Mage's influence can be felt throughout Undermountain, with unpredictable appearances presenting opportunities to witness his full control over this domain. After all, it is his home.
