Cryptic Studios, developer of Neverwinter, recently released a new update that added a new adventure zone, Northdark Reaches, and reworked the Temple of Spider dungeon. Along with these additions are several fixes for many in-game issues.
New Adventure Zone
The Underdark is not in the best state right now, and King Bruenor requires your assistance to search and uncover the reason for a missing scout. This is the new Adventure Zone called Northdark Reaches and it includes a brand-new campaign, Heroic encounters, and repeatable instances.
Dungeon Rework
In this update, developers reworked the Temple of Spider dungeon and is now playable on both Normal and Master difficulty settings. Your objective is to rescue a High Priestess of Lolth from the judgment of the Spider Queen, Lolth. Lolth isn’t known to be patient or kind, so don’t waste your time and rescue the High Priestess quickly.
