New World February Team Update
Greetings, Adventurers!
Join the New World team for our February Team Update video, where we discuss Seasons, PvP Updates, balance changes, and the 2023 roadmap.
More regular updates, a wider variety of content, and additional activities are coming to New World. Learn how our new Season Pass, Seasonal Stories, Expedition, and a few other surprises will make your time in Aeternum even more memorable. For more on all things Season 1: Fellowship & Fire, view our official announcement .
Major PvP changes are on the way:
Colored Outlines for Enemy AoEs in PvP modes
Cross-World Outpost Rush
Outpost Rush scoring changes
PvP Reward Track updates
New 3v3 Arenas Map
Territory Influence changes
Look forward to more significant combat changes every season, starting with equipment load balance in Season 1. Ideally these changes will make unique styles and off-meta builds more viable regardless of the game mode.
We’ve also made the Musket, Hatchet, and Greatsword less powerful in PvP modes. Conversely, the Fire Staff felt too weak, so we redesigned it. Our goal is to revamp one Weapon per season.
Check out our balance changes segment for the full breakdown of quality of life improvements, XP gains and more for Crafting, plus updates to other Trade Skills like Cooking and Arcana.
This month’s update concludes with a deep dive into our 2023 roadmap. Highlights include our first expansion, Seasonal Trials, and Seasonal Trinkets.
