“Today, Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of live service games, and Cryptic Studios announced Neverwinter: Uprising is now available on PC; launching for consoles on October 1. Gith have arrived in the free-to-play MMORPG set in the Forgotten Realms as an all-new playable race, their eternal conflict with the illithid spilling into the caverns of Undermountain. Halaster Blackcloak demands retribution from the adventurers who have occupied his domain culminating in an all-new 10-player End Game Trial, new PvP content including gear and a map, a fresh ‘coat of paint’ on Protector’s Enclave, recrafted Early Game experience and much more.”

Neverwinter’s next big thing has arrived in the form of its new module, Uprising, which has officially launched for PC as of today (consolers won’t see it until this fall). As we’ve been covering all summer, this update rolls out a new playable race, new space dungeon (seriously!), a cosmetics overhaul, a newbie experience revamp, and of course, the infamous super creepy cloak that’s given me nightmares.

Worth noting is that the Gith are playable only by VIP subbers for the first two weeks before opening up for everyone. Here’s all of our Uprising coverage to date, along with the launch trailer – have fun!
