Massive New World Update Adds Musical Performances, Group Finder
New World's July Update is introducing musical instruments and performances as a new trade skill, a group finder for expeditions, and countless other changes. Typical of a New World monthly update, the lengthy patch notes feature hundreds of minor adjustments, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements.
Amazon Games' highly anticipated flagship MMORPGNew World was released on PC last September and initially saw a huge population of players eager to explore the island of Aeternum. Using a stamina-based combat system more closely resemblingDark Souls than World of Warcraft and boasting an engaging three-way faction war, New World was seemingly bound to be the next big MMO in a genre bereft of promising new titles. New World's population fell sharply after release, however, due to players' frustration with the lack of endgame content, bugs, and performance issues. In an effort to retain players and address the biggest issues, New World has been releasing large monthly updates with new content and polished systems.
