Perfect World Entertainment Inc. and Cryptic Studios have released details about Neverwinter's Second Beta Weekend, which begins on March 8 and ends on March 10. This Beta Weekend gives players access to another 60-hours of early beta gameplay, a higher level cap, new features and additional classes.

In addition they have released a brand new trailer which shows the undead army of Valindra Shadowmantle, a terrible necromancer who wants to destroy the living world and rule the Sword Coast.

New Features Include:

- Control Wizard Class - Alongside three other previously playable classes (Guardian Fighter, Trickster Rogue, and Devoted Cleric), the Control Wizard makes its public debut. With an arsenal of arcane abilities, ranged attacks and AoE effects, Control Wizards are perfect additions to well-balanced parties.

- New Zones, Level 40 - Players can now test their combat skills up to a new level cap of 40 and in new zones, such as the burial grounds of Ebon Downs or the fortified monastery of Helm's Hold. For those skilled enough to reach the Lair of the Mad Dragon, there's an epic fight with... well, one can guess.

- Play Foundry Content - The Foundry, a powerful and easy-to-use content creation tool, allows users to create, share and play their own quests and campaigns directly in the persistent game world. In Beta Weekend Two, players can access more adventures created by other gamers. Visit a well-informed Bar Maid, like the one in Driftwood Tavern, or check out one of the many Job Boards scattered throughout the city of Neverwinter to see the community's first pass at Foundry content.

"Neverwinter continues to impress players and publications worldwide," said Craig Zinkievich, Executive Producer and Chief Operating Officer, Cryptic Studios. "The tremendously valuable feedback from peers and fans has allow us to make Neverwinter a truly AAA experience that is also free-to-play. We thank everyone for their continuous support and welcome new players into this, our second Beta Weekend."
