The Halloween season has arrived and just about every service game on the market is offering some kind of spooky festivities to keep players engaged during the final weeks of October. Neverwinter is no exception and the Dungeons and Dragons inspired MMO is bringing back its annual Masquerade of Liars event along with the limited-time campaign Contest of Liars to help heroes celebrate.
The Masquerade of Liars kicked off this morning (October 21) and Neverwinter players will have access to the special content through November 4 at 7:30am PT. Throughout the festivity players can expect to find costumes, treats, and possibly the limited-time ability to appear as something they are not...
During a recent interview with Randy Mosiondz, Neverwinter Lead Designer, Game Rant had a chance to discuss the fall/Halloween festivities in the MMO and what the team is working on to keep the event fresh and exciting for players from year to year…
“For the last few years we’ve been doing this faction challenge where players can pick from different groups and go out and compete against other people for your faction. Like we’ve done the last couple of years we’re introducing a new faction into the game - and this one is more scarecrow oriented. And, of course, if your faction wins you get special prizes associated with it. And of course Protector’s Enclave is going to be decorated again with Halloween items. returning from last couple of years."
Festival Bonuses and Features
“During the festival, players can complete daily quests and exchange Masquerade Tokens to earn spooky rewards, such as the new Mini Simon Vanity Pet, Enchanted Broom Mount, Splinters Companion, Fashion Masks and so much more."
Contest of Liars
Also returning this year is the limited-time Contest of Liars campaign in which three factions are once again vying for attention, each with their own agenda and rewards. Taking place during the time of the Masquerade of Liars, Contest of Liars is a race for treats like no other as three teams — the new Madcap Mashers team and last year’s non-winning teams — are all competing to collect the most treats to win the frighteningly fun trick-or-treat contest.
That should be everything players need to know to dive into the free to play game and start enjoying the Halloween activities today. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Neverwinter strategy guides, news, and updates.
