It is our first step taking our games beyond the PC market.”"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." The game will be the first free-to-play title from the developer and publisher together to make it onto a console. Cryptic Studios’ Champions Online was once hoped to show up on Xbox 360 but never did. Perfect World Entertainment’s free-to-play shooter Blacklight Retribution appears on Playstation 4 right now, but the combination of developer and publisher has yet to be seen on consoles.The Cryptic Studios engine used on games like Champions Online and Neverwinter has a bit of controller support built in.
Players have resourcefully used that to play those games with a controller on the PC. With the release of a console version of the game, the technology will be polished and refined for the Xbox One.In the press release, it is stated that the title will come “first” to Xbox One which may imply a release on Playstation 4 in the future. Xbox One players can expect the game sometime in the first half of 2015. On Xbox One, the free-to-play Neverwinter Astral Diamonds will require Xbox Live Gold to play.Were you worried that Neverwinter's fourth major update, Tyranny of Dragons, would feature too few dragons? We're not sure how you could have been worried about that, but the good news is that you can bring even more dragon into your play experience by playing a Dragonborn. No, not that kind of Dragonborn; the kind that's literally half-dragon. Or all dragon, but... humanoid dragon. You get the idea. And you can play one.
