Neverwinter trailer details the troubles of the 'Jewel of the North'

A new trailer out from Cryptic and Perfect World shows that the once-vibrant city of Neverwinter has fallen upon hard times, to say the least.

Beset by threats both from outside and from within, the "Jewel of the North" is in search of heroes. Said heroes will have to earn their keep fighting marauding orcs, undead and demons as well as discontent rebels seeking to topple the rulers of Neverwinter from their thrones.

Neverwinter is slated for release on Windows PCs this year.
