Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios' MMO, Neverwinter, went live yesterday. The MMORPG is set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe, and it's free-to-play.
"Over 1.5 million players have explored Neverwinter during our Open Beta. That's an incredible turnout of gamers and we are humbled by the support and grateful for all the feedback that has led us to this official launch," said Cryptic Studios' COO, Craig Zinkievich.
He then added: "Our game combines the rich setting of Neverwinter with intense action combat and engaging content. With the Foundry, our user-generated content tool, players can also create an endless amount of imaginative quests and campaigns. The exciting part is that we've only just begun and already our 1.5 million players, and those millions of new gamers we expect from this launch, can look forward to our first free expansion module, Fury of the Feywild, in the near future. It's been a long journey, but now the adventure can really begin."
New level 60 PvP content is being released today for players who have already invested time in the beta, and a free expansion - Fury of the Feywild - is set to follow thereafter. If you're interested you can sign up for MMO right here.
