Neverwinter launches (again), reveals Fury of the Feywild module
So, like, Neverwinter launched and stuff. And today it's launching again. Cryptic and Perfect World are actually calling it a launch this time, though, so there's that. What does Launch Day part deux have in store for the discerning Neverwinter customer? There's a new Alchemy profession, the new Caverns of Gauntlgrym endgame PvP and PvE potpourri, and permanent price drops in the Zen store. The devs have also revealed a bit of info on Neverwinter's first free module. It's called Fury of the Feywild and it will bring three campaign areas, three instances, new enemies, new loot, and a new dungeon to the live game. The official Neverwinter website says it's coming later this summer.
Neverwinter to launch with alchemy profession
Neverwinter formally launches in just two days, but it appears as though the folks at Cryptic aren't quite done adding features to the game. The company has just announced that an entirely new profession, alchemy, will go live at the same time as the game's official launch. This brings the total number of professions in Neverwinter up to six. Alchemy works in the way you might expect: You use resources gathered from the environment to make potions that enhance your abilities or restore your health. There are also unstable concoctions that provide random buff or debuff effects depending on your luck. Alchemists will be able to create dyes that can be used for color customization. Alchemy joins endgame PvE and PvP dungeon Gauntlgrym as day-one new content for Neverwinter players. Neverwinter is set for officially official release on June 20th.
Neverwinter officially goes live on June 20

This launch will also mark the addition of the Gauntlgrym content for level 60 vets and a public test shard named NeverwinterPreview. If that's not enough for fans of the Dungeons & Dragons MMO, the first expansion module, Fury of the Feywild, is set to launch this summer. Check out the Gauntlgrym trailer just after the cut below.
