Wander through the village of Eveningstar this summer when Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast bring back the classic Forgotten Realms locale to Dungeons & Dragons Online.

The new expansion, Menace of the Underdark, will not only bring back Forgotten Realms, where citizens of Cormyr must combat a new threat, but players can also explore the subterranean caverns of Underdark. This is the first expansion to the MMORPG that will give players a new level cap of 25 and a new class.

The caverns of Underdark create new obstacles for players to overcome. Gamers must fight the Drow, take over their city Shindylryn, and defeat Lolth, the Drow goddess.

Gamers can now play as a Druid, casting nature magic and transforming into a wild beast at will and travel through the King’s Forest.

“2012 is going to be our biggest year yet with a wealth of new content throughout the year including the launch of our first expansion pack,” said Fernando Piaz, Executive Producer of Dungeons & Dragons Online. “We are very excited to expand into the Forgotten Realms setting with a whole new storyline, level cap increase and the new Druid class!”

Dungeons & Dragons is bringing this free-to-play MMORPG back to its roots, with Forgotten Realms and the Druid class.
