"Come see what over 2 million players have experienced and take part in our first free Module, Fury of the Feywild. We couldn't be more excited to release this new content to our players," said Cryptic Studios Executive Producer and COO, Craig Zinkievich. "It's vital for any online game to keep players engaged with fresh new content on a regular basis. With that in mind, this release, just a couple months after live launch, is the first of a series of Modules scheduled to hit Neverwinter."

Fury of the Feywild, the first Module for Neverwinter, is a free content expansion that chronicles an attempt by Fomorian Giants to seize the Elven outpost of Sharandar. This free Module allows players to explore the enchanted woods of Sharandar, play as Sun and Moon Elves, collect new weapons and items, earn new rewards, encounter new creatures, and much more.

"This new content for Neverwinter supports our goal to create fantastic digital D&D experiences," said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for D&D at Wizards of the Coast. "Neverwinter is one of D&D's most iconic locations, and Fury of the Feywild is a fantastic addition to keep this exciting story going."

Neverwinter is a free action MMORPG that features fast-paced action combat with epic dungeons. Players explore the vast city of Neverwinter and its surrounding countryside, learning the vivid history of the iconic city and battling its many enemies. In Neverwinter, players can also create their own quests and campaigns with the Foundry, a user-generated content tool. Foundry quests and stories can then be seamlessly integrated into the game world.
