With theRise of the Angry Earth expansion launching October 3rd, New World has a new guide to let any new (or returning) players catch up on everything they need to know about Aeternum.

While the guide, written with advice from a few New World streamers, is still more of a summary, it is a good start if you haven’t stepped into the game in a while. New players can catch up and get an idea of all the basics from the sections included. There are new player tips to get you started on your journey. Contributor ArsheeTV notes that, “ New World had a rough start with a lot of bugs. Some remain, but the heart of the game is still really fun….New players today can experience New World how it was supposed to be at launch”.
