Neverwinter announces the arrival of dragons as next playable race

Free-to-play MMO Neverwinter has announced that dragons will be the game's next playable race, allowing players to begin as a small, cute baby dragon and grow to become a giant, fearsome foe. While this might be one of the better April Fools' Day pranks this year, I'm unfortunately sadden by the fact that I won't actually be able to become a dragon.

Even better though is the trailer put together for the prank which above all us features a dragon riding a horse. Another prank by developer Perfect World that is actually live in the game until April 4 is Respen’s Marvelous Game event, which transports player characters into an actual tabletop game of Dungeons and Dragons.

Further information on both the playable dragon race and the current game event can be found on the official Neverwinter website. Neverwinter is available now for Windows PC.
