Greetings, Adventurers!

Learn from these seasoned Creators in our new series, Learn from the Legends, to get even more out of combat, Expeditions, Player versus player (PvP) game modes, character progression, and Trade Skills. Once you’ve watched every video, you’ll be ready to conquer the Trials of Aeternum for exclusive rewards.
Updated Leveling Guide
Join BagginsTV for a breakdown of all things character progression. When it comes to levelling up in New World: Aeternum, there isn't really a wrong way to progress. There are, however, many systems and mechanics you can take advantage of to make the levelling journey as smooth as possible, while also putting yourself in an excellent position for the endgame.
Controller Based Builds
Ginger Prime walks us through various options for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers, plus camera settings, controller tips, and more. As part of optimizing New World for controller play, we've introduced aim assist, target friction, target lock, freeform movement, and improved accessibility options.
Combat 101
Whether you want to control magical forces or wield deadly melee and ranged weapons, TheLazyPeon has you covered.
To better ease you into the unique timing and positioning of every weapon, you’ll pick a character archetype at the start of your adventure. Each of the seven character archetypes includes two weapons and a few initial Trade Skill boosts, plus multiple skill trees with customizable abilities. Mix and match different options until you find the perfect combination for your playstyle.
PvE, Expeditions, Mutators
Interested in player versus environment (PvE)? Explore a few of the major PvE modes alongside BDLG.
Beyond the main story quest, there are many horrors of Aeternum for you to vanquish. Hunt a colossal Sandwurm in one of the game’s challenging Trials, unearth some of the island’s darkest secrets in Expeditions and banish otherworldly demons during seasonal events. As you piece together the lore around each bad omen, you’ll better understand the troubled history of the Eternal Isle. There’s always another threat skulking about Aeternum, not to mention numerous ways for you to personalize your approach.
PvP, Wars, Outpost Rush, Arenas
Check out YaBoiWilly’s video for everything you need to know about PvP on the cursed island. Companies are organized groups of adventurers that can team up for both competitive and cooperative activities. To join another player’s Company, you’ll first have to be in the same Faction.
Early on, you’ll have the choice to join either the Marauders, the Syndicate, or the Covenant. All three Factions have unique values, colors, and philosophies, complete with their own quests and schemes. Maybe you’ll join the Marauders because you love the color green, the Syndicate because you share their passion for knowledge, or the Covenant because your friends did. This is your story, so there’s never a wrong choice.
Crafting, Trade Skills, Economy
Learn more about how to forge your story with Newb World. Your curious voyage starts with character creation. That customization then extends to outfits, weapons, tools, mounts, camp skins, and emotes. Solve every mystery surrounding Aeternum solo or with friends for a completely different experience. There are also Trade Skills like Cooking, Fishing, Musical Instruments, Crafting, and many more that grant various bonuses and further immerse you in your favorite aspects of the game.
