The Story

The story of The Maze Engine follows the events of the eighth expansion – Neverwinter: Underdark.Adventurers have quelled the efforts of Demogorgon though some demons continue to make their way into the Forgotten Realms.

The ninth expansion to Neverwinter also sees the return of five dungeons that have been reworked to offer more content as players push towards to level 70 cap. Castle Never, one of the hardest dungeons previously in the game, has received a massive overhaul as Orcus has taken over following Valindra’s exodus. Neverwinter: The Maze Engine will also bring new gameplay updates, including a new campaign, The Stable – a system that gives further customization to mounts – and an improved queue system.
