Neverwinter will release Biting Cold: Sleeping Gods Lie on November 17. Cryptic added the exact date to its updated preview plan, replacing the previous mid-November window.

The module includes the snowy Reghed Crevasse zone, the Madness of the Sleeping God mechanic, The Defense of the Mythallar skirmish, and The Devourer's Pit trial. Those parts are already on the PC preview shards. Our earlier story covers the test schedule and the core activities.

Ascendant Mode will arrive separately. After closed tests and the Devourer's Pit preview, the developers decided it needed more work. The October 30 test was canceled, and a replacement preview is planned for November 27-30. The mode itself is now due December 8, 21 days after Module 34.

This is an optional weekly difficulty above Master. Enemies gain more health and damage, while the modifier set changes from week to week. Cryptic says it is aimed at groups that have already mastered several classes and roles.

The update is coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Neverwinter remains free to play. The module date is also listed on the Neverwinter page.
