Cryptic’s Jack Emmert has said that the studio’s recently-announced role-playing game Neverwinter will feature persistent online play, and that content can be tackled either alone or cooperatively.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Emmert said, “You're always online; you're never offline. But you can certainly solo through the content.
“There will be persistent areas you travel to where you might see other players, but nobody's going to hold a gun to your head to play with them. There will be content that is team only, but in those cases, if you want to solo it, you can just hire NPC henchmen.”
Cryptic Studios and Atari have announced Neverwinter, a PC-exclusive RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons, and due in 2011.
In the game, players will be able to select one of five classes and team up with other players or AI allies to do battle in the city of Neverwinter.
“Once a bustling location, Neverwinter has faced a great many disasters in the past hundred years,” reads the press release.
