Join the Development Team for an in-depth breakdown of Season 2:
Major Updates
New Season Story
One of the most enduring mysteries of Brimstone Sands is the massive creature known as the Devourer. An ancient group calling themselves the Blood of the Sands, and their leader Malek, have emerged from the shadows to seek help in finding the eggs of these beasts. Join the Silver Crows and Rima the bard to uncover the secrets of the order and their history with the creature they call Shah-Neshen.
New Season Pass
Blood of the Sands introduces a new Season Journey, new Activity Card, new Challenges, and new rewards including cosmetics and consumables like Transmog Tokens.
Transmog
Further customize your character when Transmog comes to New World during a mid-season 2 update. Use consumable Transmog tokens to capture the appearance of any gear collected in the world and then transform it into a usable skin for your cosmetic collection.
Elite Trial: Arena of Shah-Neshen
Enter the Arena of Shah-Neshen the Devourer, and defeat the massive sandwurm for elite rewards in a challenging new PvE game mode for 20 max-level players.
Seasonal Trial: The Hatchery
Fight through waves of enemies to progress the Season Pass and earn unique rewards in a new weekly activity for 10+ max-level players. Players can earn the maximum amount of rewards 7 times a week and will then receive smaller rewards for subsequent runs.
Raid Groups
Create a raid group of up to 20 players to communicate, coordinate, and share spoils across large-scale, open-world activities.
Cross World Outpost Rush
Outpost Rush will soon be playable across any world within the same region. Gain control of fortifications and resources in this 20v20 game mode for max-level players.
Outpost Rush Refresh
Alongside cross world functionality, Outpost Rush will also receive a refresh to make gameplay even more engaging. Updates include reduced wait times, an increased focus on objectives, and increased damage from siege weapons. Look forward to the full list of changes during our next PTR.
First Light Retraction
First Light has fallen to the might of Artemis and her Angry Earth horde! The Settlement, Fort, and Trading Post in First Light are now closed. A wall of thorns has erupted along the border, barring all access into the territory until further notice.
All Housing related items will return to Storage and can be found under the “Old First Light” tab in any Storage shed.
All Trading Post orders in First Light will eventually expire, but no new orders can be made in the territory.
Companies controlling First Light at the time of Retraction will be refunded for their losses.
First Light’s Faction Control Point (FCP) buff has been moved to Weaver’s Fen, and Weaver’s FCP buff has been discontinued for now.
We have big plans for the territory. This is only the first step. Stay tuned for more news about the future of “Old First Light.”
New 3v3 Arenas Map
Battle other players in an all-new Gladiator style 3v3 Arenas map.
New Heartrune Ability: The Devourer
Summon a sandwurm to burst from the ground and damage anything within its path.
Seasonal Events
Summer Medleyfaire
Commemorate the warm summer months with music and the Aeternum Sturgeon—a rare and highly sought after fish prized by both anglers and cooks alike!
Players can purchase the new music track 'YAAHH' from the Medley Faire Maestro. Performing this song 3 times a day at any Medley Faire village will grant you Premium Medley Faire tokens. Complete a 4 star playthrough on expert mode to receive the "Guitar Hero" title!
Eggciting Defense
10+ max-level players can team up in a new group activity to defend Sandwurm Eggs from waves of Sulfur Elementals seeks to destroy them. Defend the eggs to earn rewards that will help you take on Sha-Neshen, and for a chance at the Mini-Devourer hat skin and housing item.
PTR
The Public Test Realm (PTR) is a limited-availability server-set that grants an early look at upcoming features. These preview builds are snapshots of upcoming major releases and are not final versions — you may encounter bugs, crashes, missing text, or other issues. Between our internal testing efforts and your reports, we hope to catch and resolve all serious issues before they reach the live servers. Hundreds of changes have already been made — with more to come — and the full release notes will be shared on release day. However, not every bug or feedback piece will be actioned on before release — some changes need time to be investigated further, and may arrive in a subsequent patch or two.
To help with the feedback process, all newly created PTR characters will have the opportunity to instantly level to select level-ranges outfitted with appropriate gear and items.
The PTR will officially open on May 25 at 10 AM PST (6 PM UTC). Jeśli natraficie na błędy lub będziecie mieć jakieś sugestie dotyczące usprawnień funkcji lub zawartości, prosimy o przekazanie ich poprzez nasze Discord (dostępna jest także opcja w grze służąca do przesyłania opinii). Zrobimy co w naszej mocy, aby wdrożyć pomysły naszych graczy w ramach aktualizacji zawartości na naszych serwerach gry. Udział graczy w testowaniu pomoże nam wprowadzać w przyszłości niesamowitą zawartość i aktualizacje!
During this iteration of the PTR, we look forward to hearing your playtest feedback on the following changes:
Summer Medleyfaire Event
New 3v3 Arenas map
First Light Retraction
Season 2 Narrative
Seasonal Trial: The Hatchery
Season 2 Rewards Track
Outpost Rush Refresh
Eggciting Defense
Raid Groups
Elite Trial: Arena of Shah-Neshen
These features will be tested in rolling waves. Stay tuned to Steam and Discord for the full schedule.
PTR CLIENT ACCESS
This special preview client will be made available for download through the stand-alone Steam application, “New World Public Test Realm” (which should already be in your Steam library if you own the main game). When the test period is complete and the main New World game is updated with the previewed content, the PTR world will shut down and may be wiped clean. You will continue to see the New World PTR application in your Steam library, but there will not be an active server until the next time we announce a public test.
PTR BACKSTORY LOADOUTS
Upon character creation on the PTR, players will be given multiple caches of special armor and weapons. Each cache has a designation based upon a general build and a main attribute: CON, DEX, INT, FOC, and STR.
To help manage the sudden onset of new items, do not open all provided caches at once, or you’ll risk becoming encumbered! Instead, equip all provided bags and then follow-up with opening each cache deliberately. Any undesired caches can be dropped or deposited into your personal settlement storage.
Najczęściej zadawane pytania na temat PTR
JAK UZYSKAĆ DOSTĘP DO NOWEJ APLIKACJI PTR?
Każda osoba mająca grę New World będzie mieć automatyczny dostęp do aplikacji PTR. Aplikacja PTR nie jest kompatybilna z główną grą, więc konieczne będzie pobranie osobnego klienta aplikacji (wymagane jest też wolne miejsce na dysku twardym). Poprzez PTR gracze otrzymają dostęp do specjalnych światów dostępnych w obsługiwanych regionach. Na początku nie wszystkie regiony będą obsługiwane. Dostęp jest możliwy na zasadzie „kto pierwszy, ten lepszy”. Mogą pojawić się kolejki.
CZY MOGĘ UŻYWAĆ MOICH POSTACI Z GRY GŁÓWNEJ LUB JE PRZENIEŚĆ DO PTR?
Niestety nie. Są to oddzielne światy, więc obecnie nie można tego zrobić. Jednak, aby ułatwić testowanie, będziemy od czasu do czasu zapewniać naszym testerom specjalne wyposażenie, natychmiastowe poziomy itp.
CZY MOGĘ PRZEKAZYWAĆ SWOJE OPINIE DOTYCZĄCE PROJEKTU I ZAWARTOŚCI PTR?
Ukończyliśmy przedpremierowe wydania gry w PTR, które są w końcowej fazie testowania i naprawiania błędów. W tej fazie skupiamy się głównie na poprawianiu jakości – bardzo dziękujemy za wszelkie informacje zwrotne od graczy.
MAM PROBLEM: JAK MOGĘ SIĘ SKONTAKTOWAĆ Z OBSŁUGĄ KLIENTA?
Nasze reguły i zasady postępowania dotyczą także PTR – będziemy nadal obsługiwać moderację w grze. Niestety z powodu tymczasowości i niestabilnego charakteru PTR nie będziemy zapewniać wsparcia poprzez czat w grze i obsługę klienta.
NIE CHCĘ BRAĆ UDZIAŁU W PTR. CZY MOGĘ USUNĄĆ TĘ APLIKACJĘ Z MOJEJ BIBLIOTEKI?
Oczywiście, nie ma problemu. Gracze mogą zarządzać widocznością elementu PTR New World w bibliotece Steam. Po wejściu do opcji gry (prawy przycisk myszy > opcja Zarządzaj), można użyć funkcji „Ukryj grę”.
Dziękujemy za wsparcie i udział! Do zobaczenia w Aeternum.
