Season of Opportunity Announcement

newworld.com:

Greetings, Adventurers!

Embark on a new starting experience alongside the release of New World: Aeternum when Season of Opportunity comes to the Eternal Isle on October 15. From repeatable Soul Trials to a free-for-all PvP zone, upleveled endgame rewards, and a 10-player raid, all of our major updates have been driven by player feedback. Some of your favorite events like Nightveil Hallow, Turkulon, and Winter Convergence will return throughout this season with festive rewards, plus a new seasonal Reward Track. Check out the highlights below and then watch our Team Update video .

The foggy southwest reaches of Cutlass Keys are a lawless place, where the “Golden Greed” curse of La Esperanza’s treasure drives fortune-hunters to murderous madness. Even the closest of companions are liable to lethally betray one another. Gather Cursed Doubloons and resources, but you’ll have to escape before other looters steal your spoils. We’ll go deeper into the Cursed Mists in an upcoming behind the scenes article.

One of the most exciting new features coming is our first-ever 10-player raid, the Hive of Gorgons. After defeating Medusa in New Olympus, players will learn of a new threat. The Gorgons have risen, and they’re raising an army of the Hercyne. To stop them, you’ll have to assemble a team of powerful players, enter the hive, and navigate a gauntlet of challenging puzzles and epic boss battles. Look forward to learning more in an upcoming developer deep dive.

Turn your enemy’s Empower against them, improve your survivability, and more. These 8 new Artifacts, each featuring its own quest line for upgrades, will redefine your playstyle. Here’s a preview of what to expect from their unique abilities.
