Neverwinter – the Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG initially released in 2013, is super-popular. Like, super-duper-popular. It’s no surprise then that the game has received continual updates up until this point, and shows no signs of slowing down. Mountain of Flame is the name of the latest season, bringing with it mounds of new content to revel in. Let’s check it out!
Return to Mount Hotenow
Available today on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, Neverwinter – Mountain of Flame takes players back to the fiery heights of Mount Hotenow, home to the villainous Gommoth. It is he who intends to utilise magma flows to free a devastatingly powerful Primordial, and it is us who must of course put a stop to his devious plans.Â
As well as the customary new Battle Pass to work through, as well as a reworked and re-populated interpretation of the returning Mount Hotenow region, the biggest draw of the Mountain of Flame season is undoubtedly that of the Lair of the Mad Dragon dungeon. This is again a returning element to the game, albeit with three difficulty tiers to work through, each offering unique rewards, and a completely reworked suite of enemies and bosses to battle.
