NEW WORLD: AETERNUM GAME UPDATE

A major update has arrived for New World! New World on Steam is now titled New World: Aeternum. The New World: Aeternum update includes a fully revamped storytelling approach with enhanced dialogue, in-game cinematics and pre-rendered scenes, the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, a challenging 10-player raid, new end-game solo trials, and more.



For players on PC, access to the content in the New World: Aeternum update will depend on what New World products you have:

I have the New World base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

If you currently have the New World base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, you will have access to all content in the New World: Aeternum update for free.

I only have the New World base game and not the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

If you currently only have the New World base game, you will have access to only some of the updates and content that launch with New World: Aeternum. To get access to all of the content like the new Raid, you will need to purchase the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

I don’t have New World yet on PC.

New PC players will want to get either the New World: Aeternum Standard Edition or New World: Aeternum Deluxe Edition.

NEW WORLD: AETERNUM - DELUXE EDITION

The New World: Aeternum Deluxe Edition comes with:

• New World: Aeternum

About This Game

Explore a thrilling, massive and beautiful world filled with danger and opportunity where you'll forge a new destiny for yourself as an adventurer shipwrecked on the supernatural island of Aeternum. Endless opportunities to fight, forage, and forge await you among the island's wilderness and ruins. Channel supernatural forces or wield deadly weapons in a classless, real-time combat system, and fight alone, with a small team, or in massed armies for PvP and PvP battles—the choices are all yours.

KEY FEATURES:

DISCOVER THE ISLAND OF AETERNUM
For thousands of years, Aeternum has been the source of fantastical legends—and now you've found it. Shipwrecked and without supplies or allied, you'll need to make your way in a dangerous world where supernatural power has changed all the rules.


PLAY YOUR WAY
Play solo or use cross-platform play to team up with others, or compete head-to-head in a variety of PvP battles. Customize the look, skills, and abilities of your character, and experiment with different builds to suit your play style.


SWORDS, GUNS & SORCERY
Arm yourself with brutal melee weapons, ranged artillery, or supernatural powers and jump into New World's classless, real-time action combat system. As you progress you'll be able to determine what you want your gameplay experience to be like—will you act as a protective shield on the front lines of battle? Will you sling spells to support your allies from a safe distance? Only you can decide.


CHOOSE YOUR PLAY STYLE
Choose from seven unique starting archetypes. Each archetype has its own play style. From the Destroyer, a mighty slayer, brutally executing foes with a massive great axe and war hammer to the Mystic, a scholar-warrior who seeks to master the forces of life and death. Choose and change at any point in the game.


SUMMON YOUR MOUNT
Master horses, dire wolves, and lions, each with a unique look, dyeable equipment and a name you can set. Level up your Riding Trade Skill to earn upgrades like increased speeds, buffs and higher tier consumable food for your mount.
