New Neverwinter expansion Sharandar revealed, coming next month

Update: The release of Neverwinter: Sharandar – Episode 1: The Iron Tooth was delayed until February 16. The reasons are explained in this post.

Original Story: Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios have revealed the new Neverwinter expansion, Sharandar. Released in three episodes, it is coming to PC first and roughly a month later to PS4 and Xbox One.

The synopsis of Sharandar tells us that an unsettling darkness creeps across the Feywild and the age-old elven stronghold of Sharandar. Brutish creatures kill any foolish enough to enter the lands once held by Malabog the Fomorian King. Deep in the forest, rumors of an ancient fey being, together with scattered bands of Malabog’s minions, seek to conquer Sharandar and seize its arcane secrets.

The first of three episodes is called The Iron Tooth and launches February 9 on PC and March 9 on console. In this episode, adventurers are sent to the Ruins of Malabog to investigate the disappearance of an elven dignitary. Players get to explore the Feywild lands of Sharandar, in which they’ll find the New Sharandar social hub, the Ruins of Malabog Adventure Zone, and the Vault of Stars dungeon, along with epic rewards.

The next two episodes, Episode 2: The Soul Keeper and Episode 3: The Odious Court, continue the story of Neverwinter: Sharandar at a later date. Players have the chance to experience the transformation of Sharandar as they take on the sinister new threat revealed in the first episode and push back the darkness.
