Perfect World has revealed a new Neverwinter expansion, Shadowmantle, which comes with the Hunter Ranger class and much more.

Neverwinter, the free-to-play MMO from Perfect World, already has another expansion on the horizon. Perfect World has announced their second module, Shadowmantle, following their recent Fury of the Feywild module. Shadowmantle makes a few interesting additions, including a new "Hunter Ranger" class.

• Hunter Ranger: An archer / dual-wielding class, lethal from both up-close and far away.
• Paragon Paths: Further diversify who you are, gaining access to new powers and feats.
• Dread Ring Campaign: A dark delve into the Neverwinter woods to explore ritual magic.
• Artifacts: New equipment that grants you unique abilities and grows in power over time.
• Collections: Similar to achievements, but based on collecting items on your adventures.

The importance of the Hunter Ranger class can't be understated, as it drastically helps round out the game's available classes. Overall, these are some fairly solid additions just a few months after their first expansion. Will Perfect World continue this kind of pace? Enjoy the spoils of Shadowmantle, settle into the world of Neverwinter, and find out what comes next.
