Dungeons & Dragons Online: Isle of Dread Expansion Available

The Isle of Dread expansion for Dungeons & Dragons Online, also known as Update 55, is now live. The expansion is built around a beloved classic D&D adventure and features an increased level cap, a new playable race, new character-building options, monsters, and more.

Here’s the official launch trailer:

And some extra details:

The Isle of Dread has arrived!

A mysterious island reappears off the coast of Stormreach and Foxpaw has been kidnapped by pirates to be dragged away to the island. To make matters worse, the Cult of Vecna has been sighted in the region. It can’t be a coincidence. Prehistoric dangers await any that step onto the island’s shores…if they can survive the passage.

Explore the island’s mysterious ruins, encounter fearsome foes, gather new powerful items, play as the new Tabaxi race, and uncover what the Cult of Vecna is planning. The Isle of Dread is available to purchase now! Players that purchase the expansion now will receive immediate access to ingame items, cosmetics, and the all-new Tabaxi race! Learn more on DDO.com. Get started with Isle of Dread by speaking to Zalnathe the Dread Bundle Item Vendor to get any items with your purchase, and speak to Wulth Sulfork to travel to the Isle of Dread! Both NPCs are located in The Harbor past the Hut from Beyond on the Stormreach docks.
