Greetings, Adventurers!
A cursed island plagued by mystery awaits in the Trials of Aeternum in-game event. Embark on a thrilling journey with challenges spanning the shores to Shattered Mountain when New World: Aeternum launches on October 15th. In pursuit of rumored riches, you’ll join forces with your fellow PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S Adventurers and turn weekly achievements into highly coveted, exclusive rewards themed around the foundations of Aeternum.
Forest Green rewards for our brave Xbox Series X|S Adventurers
River Blue rewards for our daring PlayStation 5 Adventurers

This 3-week-long event will feature themed challenges designed to guide your team through the supernatural secrets, threats, and fortunes lurking across Aeternum. As you grow in power, you can track your team’s challenges, progress, and hard-earned spoils on the dedicated Trials of Aeternum page. The island’s increasingly savage, supernatural cycle is not for the faint of heart, but it favors those who seek opportunity. Conquer the Trials of Aeternum to seize yours!

FAQ
Are Legacy servers eligible to participate in Trials of Aeternum?
No. Trials of Aeternum delivers a compelling New World: Aeternum launch experience for new characters from the shores to Shattered Mountain. Only Standard servers across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S can participate in the event.
Are Standard - Console Only Worlds eligible to participate in Trials of Aeternum?
No. Trials of Aeternum brings Adventurers from PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S together through exploration, immersion, and progression toward common goals. All Standard, cross-play servers in any region can participate.
How will teams work?
All players regardless of their Server will be split into 3 teams: PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S. This is a cooperative event, so everyone will work together toward completing the same challenges even if they’re on different teams. However, each team will have their own individual progress. For example, if Adventurers on PC unlock a weekly reward faster than Adventurers on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, the Adventurers on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S are still eligible to unlock that reward when all relevant challenge milestones are completed.
When will I receive my unlocked weekly rewards?
Unlocked rewards will be distributed throughout the event after each week.
