With their help during our Beta Test periods and our accumulated experience from having launched five MMOs, we’re confident we’ve worked out all the major kinks and can sustain the world of Neverwinter without the Beta safety net. I personally thank our Open Beta players for providing an enormous amount of valuable feedback and supporting us during every single step of the development process. As a token of that appreciation, we’re running an in-game promotional event near the end of Open Beta. Of course, alongside the launch day comes the release of Gauntlgrym, which adds more end-game content. And, we just announced Fury of the Feywild, our first content expansion for Neverwinter, which will all be, in classic D&D® fashion, Modules. Yeah, there is a lot going on. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. The game is doing great and we love working on it.”

The game, which will be released for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, promises exciting new story elements revealing the secret of the “Lords of Shadow” s well as the experience of finally being able to play as Dracula, a first for the series.

Dracula has once again become the resurrected, but in a much weaker state then before and wanting to end the curse of immortality. Satan has also returned from where he was once banished long ago to bring about the Armageddon and ultimate revenge on those responsible for his defeat. To make sure this doesn’t happen, Dracula must try to regain his former powers and maybe even a pact with Devil will be the only thing that can do it. In the course of defeating his most evil of enemies, he will come to discover many things such as his connection to the Belmont clan and their bloody quest for revenge.

Konami promises that players will find the new addition of Dracula as an exciting feature, as you grow his powers.These powers are enhanced and sustained by the natural vampire urge to feed on unsuspecting humans. The game will also offer an open world for players to explore, with a modern twist to the familiar Castlevania setting that gamers should love. The game world is filled with challenging and elaborate environments to explore and massive labyrinths to traverse. The game should fill the void missing by the cliffhanger left by the ending of the original Lords of Shadow, and offer gamers a new experience from an old favorite.
