Perfect World and Cryptic Studios are pleased to announce today that Neverwinter, the popular free-to-play MMORPG, is coming to consoles (first on Xbox One) sometime next year.
Gamers who have Xbox One will be able to play Neverwinter first when it launches sometime in 2015. For PS4 owners wishing to play the game as well, they will have to wait as the game is currently a timed exclusive to Xbox One.
To be able to play Neverwinter for free on Xbox One, gamers must be a Xbox Live Gold subscriber. No word yet as to how it would work on PS4, though we should hear more about it next year.
“Neverwinter is our premier title to bring to console players,” said Perfect World Entertainment CEO, Alan Chen. “Consoles are a perfect fit for action-oriented MMORPGs like Neverwinter, and we are thrilled to be one of the first publishers to bring premium free-to-play titles to leading next-gen platforms. Being able to bring Neverwinter to the Xbox One is a critical achievement for Perfect World. It is our first step taking our games beyond the PC market.”
To those who can’t wait for it, please note that Neverwinter is now available on PC.
