Five Free Expansions Coming To Neverwinter On Xbox One In 2015
Perfect World has announced a strong start on Xbox One for its free-to-play MMORPG, Neverwinter. The title has been out for six weeks, with over 1.6 million players giving the game a try.
Through the remainder of this year, Perfect World will be releasing five free expansions. These include the Tyranny of Dragons and Elemental Evil story arcs.
In addition to the 1.6 million players statistic, Perfect World has shared that 2.3 million characters have been created and 92,000 have already reached the maximum level (60). Additionally, 92 players have made it their mission to wipe out the dragon population, each killing over 1,000 of them.
You can check out a video of the game in action for more information.
Our Take
Given that free-to-play games thrive on the longevity of usership (translating into approximate lifetime value of a player), more content this year isn’t surprising. That said, five expansions (if they are substantial) sounds like it will keep players busy for some time.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
