If you’re hungry for some new co-op RPG action, Cryptic Studios has you covered with Neverwinter, a new licensed 4th Edition D&D title:
Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from Dungeons & Dragons as it rises from the ashes of destruction. This immersive co-op RPG will take you from the besieged walls of the city to subterranean passageways in search of forgotten secrets and lost treasure.
Neverwinter also includes The Foundry for designing your own adventures:
The Foundry gives you the tools to build dungeons, castles, cities, foreboding woods and everything in-between. Build NPCs the way you see them in your mind’s eye and populate your world with tavern keepers and soldiers, Queens and scullions. Lay the groundwork for an epic adventure that takes players into the depths of the earth in search of dwarven treasure, or pits them against near impossible odds to save the city of Neverwinter. Easy to use, The Foundry also features a dynamic rating system that allows players to rate and highlight the best player-designed adventures.
Here’s a teaser to whet the appetite:
