Neverwinter screens and video show off horse and spider mounts
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.

A Neverwinter trailer which focuses on the lore of the Chasm has been released. It’s posted below courtesy of IGN. In the Chasm, remnants of the Spellplague still “twist life into an army of horrors aimed at the city of Neverwinter.” Spooky.

The free-to-play action MMORPG based on the Dungeons and Dragons property is slated for release in early 2013.
