Neverwinter heading to Xbox One in China this year, rest of the world next year

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios today announced MMORPG Neverwinter is heading to Xbox One in China in September and in 2015 for all other regions.

In China, the game will be titled Neverwinter Online.

Neverwinter is our premier title to bring to console players,” Perfect World Entertainment CEO Alan Chen said. “Consoles are a perfect fit for action-oriented MMORPGs like Neverwinter, and we are thrilled to be one of the first publishers to bring premium free-to-play titles to leading next-gen platforms. Being able to bring Neverwinter to the Xbox One is a critical achievement for Perfect World. It is our first step taking our games beyond the PC market.”

An Xbox Live Gold account will be required to play Neverwinter.
