Neverwinter, currently in open beta, has a new video available to show you what you’re missing out on if you aren’t testing it. The video gives you a look into to the Whispering Caverns, mines which are located below Neverwinter. Wouldn’t you know there would be a Beholder lurking in the tunnels. Hateful things.

Neverwinter screens and video show off horse and spider mounts

neverwinter paint horse mount

Neverwinter will have mounts. Shocking for an MMO, isn’t it? In all seriousness, we’ve been handed screens and a trailer featuring the mounts in the game, and as a mount collector myself, I find the horses to be rather lovely. I have no desire to ride a spider, even if it’s virtual. To each his own, though, and if you purchase the Hero of the North Founder’s Pack, you’ll get one. That would make Lolth proud. Have a look below. Game’s out sometime this year.
