It has been confirmed that "Neverwinter," the massively multiplayer online RPG that is free to play on the Xbox One and PC, will also be coming to the PlayStation 4.
In a livestream on the official Twitch account of publisher Wizards of the Coast, associate brand manager Trevor Kidd announced that the "Dungeons and Dragons" MMO will also have a version for Sony's current console, and is already in development.
For those who are currently not familiar with the title, "Neverwinter" is an action-packed multiplayer online battle royale that is based on the popular "Dungeons and Dragons" world. First launched in 2013 for the PC, developer Cryptic Studios then decided to expand that title to include a console version. The Xbox One version of "Neverwinter" was launched in March this year. The game now has over 1.6 million players on the console, and it is already one of the Xbox One's top free-to-play games for this year.
At the time of the Xbox One release, though, the developer remained mum on any developments regarding a PS4 version. Although the Twitch announcement did not specify any other details such as the release dates or gameplay feature like console exclusives, the confirmation has some hardcore fans excited for the upcoming launch.
When it is released for the Playstation 4, "Neverwinter" will be joining the Sony console's impressive array of already-released massively multiplayer online titles, which include "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited," "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn," and "DC Universe Online."
Meanwhile, another title set in the "Dungeons and Dragons"' massive universe is also scheduled to be released later this year. Set as a character RPG platformer with new features such as a co-op dungeon exploring, "Sword Coast Legends" is expected to be launched in September for consoles and PC.
