| Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – Wrath of the Druids Expansion Available Now Posted: 13 May 2021 01:00 PM PDT Wrath of the Druids, the first major expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, is out now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Wrath of the Druids brings Eivor's saga to Ireland, where players will forge alliances with Gaelic kings, conquer forbidding ring forts, and delve into the mystery behind an ancient druidic cult known as the Children of Danu. Wrath of the Druids adds a beautiful, myth-steeped open-world region to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, encompassing Dublin and three Irish provinces, where Eivor embarks on a quest to unite Ireland's warring factions at the behest of High-King Flann Sinna.  In addition to the new region – which features such landmarks as the Hill of Tara, the Ben Bulben rock formation, and the Giant's Causeway – Wrath of the Druids adds new abilities, skills, and weapons to Eivor's arsenal. As Eivor battles the Children of Danu, along with new Irish enemy factions (not to mention more than a few mythical creatures), players can wield (and dual-wield) sickles in combat, and deploy new abilities, including smoke-bomb arrows and Irish hounds that can be summoned to attack enemies.  When not fighting shadowy enemies or exploring Ireland's natural beauty (and haunted forests), players can use raided resources to build and upgrade a network of trading posts, with the eventual goal of dominating Ireland's trade routes and building Dublin up as the capital of Irish commerce. Wrath of the Druids is connected to the main campaign, doesn't require a specific power level, and unlocks once players have arrived in England and completed either the Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire arcs. There's a whole new land of mystery and adventure to explore, so load up the longship and get ready to see what happens when druids and Vikings clash.  Wrath of the Druids is available through the Season Pass or as a separate purchase, and is included with Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Gold and Ultimate Editions.

| Neverwinter Sharandar Episode 2: The Soul Keeper Now Live Posted: 13 May 2021 12:00 PM PDT The magic of the Annis Hag may have been weakened, but the renewed battle within the Feywild continues with Neverwinter‘s Sharandar Episode 2: The Soul Keeper! Following the defeat of Granny Necksnapper in Episode 1, the Illiyanbruen elves are focused on reinforcing their position in the Ruins of Malabog and seeking answers to the disturbing accounts coming from the Mended Grove (known previously as the Blighted Grove). In Episode 2, adventurers will once again assist the elves in uncovering information regarding the strange specters seen wandering among the trees of the grove; the bodies of these long departed Eladrin disrupting the rest of visitors and Illiyanbruen alike.  In this new installment of the Sharandar storyline, players are introduced to Mathilda Soulstealer, the Night Hag, when she boldly reveals herself during an attack. Retreating into the ethereal plane, the Night Hag will ultimately face daring adventurers in her own lair. It is within these twisted and dark corridors where players will seek to once again neutralize the darkness gripping the Mended Grove and stop future threats to the rebuilding of Sharandar. Players' efforts to combat these ongoing threats within the Feywild will be rewarded with new companion gear in Episode 2. Found within Shattered Diamonds and in the Vault of Stars dungeon, players will now be able to obtain items such as the Glistening Grimoire of the Companion, Glistening Sword Knot of the Companion, Pristine Ring of the Companion, and more!  In addition to the adventure rewards, Episode 2 launch day brings with it a colorful swarm of limited time mounts available for purchase. Three new color variants of the Butterfly Swarm Mounts will be available for the first month of the episode release. Finally, the mid-Episode 1 release of the Vault of Stars dungeon provided adventurers the opportunity to complete the Wish Upon A Star achievement. Continuing the storyline and completing all Episode 2 missions will also allow players to progress through the Defender of the Feywild Xbox achievement, ultimately completing it when Episode 3 releases in the future.  With one Hag purportedly defeated, Adventurers should be well prepared to vanquish a second one. But will this really be the end of the dark presence lurking in the shadows?
