The very first New World patch arrives today (at 3 AM PT, 12:00 CET) and Amazon Games are sharing the update notes! We have some developer comments on the launch week and server expansion features they've undertaken, as well as a promise of upcoming server transfer features, the AFK prevention measures are coming into play, some QoL changes arrive for the queue system, and a whooole lot of bugfixes are coming along for the ride too!

  New World Update: 1.0.1 will release at 3AM PT (10AM UTC) on October 6.

 

Greetings, Adventurers!

What a week it has been! We’re humbled and honored by the amount of adventurers that have begun to make their mark on Aeternum.

Last week we shared that our top priority was ensuring that everyone could login and play quickly, without having to wait for queues. To accomplish that, we more than doubled the number of available servers, increased server capacity on existing servers, and are continuing to work on a feature to allow players to transfer their characters to different servers, which will be available soon. While members of our team are working tirelessly on ensuring players can find a server to call their long-term home with the character transfer feature, other members have worked on a few additional quality of life updates and bug fixes to ensure that once players have entered Aeternum they’re able to play and progress as intended.

We’ll continue to work on server transfers, bug fixes, and other issues in future updates - thanks for your reports on the official New World forums!

 

General

We've implemented the groundwork for the character server transfer, and you may see elements of that work in the in-game store. We're continuing to work on this feature, and will have more information on how the system works later this week when we release server transfers.

War

Changed turret projectiles in War from physical projectiles to use hitscan detection. This should help performance in War, with fewer objects being spawned in the world.

AFK Prevention

In an effort to ensure players can’t stay AFK, especially in higher population servers, we’ve made the following adjustments to the AFK prevention system.

  • Added additional AFK prevention to ensure players cannot fool the existing system with simulated mouse movement.

  • Shortened the AFK warning message from 20mins to 15mins.

  • Shortened the AFK disconnect from 25mins to 20mins.

World Queue

We added a confirmation screen when a player attempts to leave the queue for a world, asking the player to confirm if they’re intending to leave the queue. This should help ensure nobody accidentally leaves the queue and misses out on their spot in line.

Bug fixes:

General Fixes
  • Fixed a rare issue causing the interact key to not properly function on various objects in the world.

  • Fixed an issue causing the barrel to not appear in “Pirate Stance” emote.

  • Fixed an issue where players did not receive coin as a reward from some activities.

  • Fixed a bug where interrupting the fast travel animation may cause the player’s character to become stuck inside of a house.

  • Fixed an issue in Territory Standing rewards where some localized text was missing.

  • Fixed an issue where players are asked to claim achievement titles multiple times after logging back into the game, despite already having claimed the rewards.

  • Fixed an issue causing leg animations to freeze.

  • Fixed game crashes related to the New World Twitch integrations.

  • Fixed a rare issue where players could enter state where they could not be hit by most attacks.

  • Fixed an issue where certain item containers could be looted infinitely.

  • Fixed an issue where the abandoning event notification could sometimes persist after the player abandoned the event.

AI Fixes
  • Fixed an issue causing Pastor Walsh to spawn aggressively at the Walsham point of interest (POI).

  • Fixed an issue causing enemies to spawn slower than intended in the Bullrush Wash POI.

  • Fixed an issue causing Overseer Zane to respawn slower than intended in the "Something to Prove" quest.

  • Fixed an issue where Master Zindt could have duplicated respawns at the Kannan Tomb POI.

Quest Fixes
  • Added missing journal information about the recommended quest level for players attempting to unlock the second faction rank.

  • Fixed an issue where resetting the “Blessings of Earth” quest when you have gained any of the blessings will block progression in the Main Story Quest (MSQ).

  • Fixed an issue where the "Azoth Fulminate" quest will be unavailable to players if they first complete other Windsward quests.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the “Goodwill Squashing” quest prevents the player from obtaining the “Arruda Jam” quest.

  • Fixed an issue where the barkeep conversation state in First Light can enter a state where quests cannot be obtained from the barkeep.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the "Taste for Revenge" quest prevents the player from obtaining the "Predator, Prey" and "Great Expectations" quests.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the “Curse of Ebony Hawk” quest prevents the player from obtaining the “Bond’s Gambit” quest.

  • Fixed an issue where completing "The Expedition into Saircor" quest prevents the player from obtaining the "One Threat at a Time" quest.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the "Strength of the Earth" quest prevents the player from obtaining the "Fading Lights" and "Azure Tears" quests.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the "Twisted Metamorphosis" quest prevents the player from obtaining the "Blessings of the Fallen" quest.

  • Fixed an issue where completing the "Facets of Light and Darkness" quest prevents the player from obtaining the "Descent to Frosted Slumber" and "Transmuting Iron to Dust" quests.
     

Thanks for your support! See you in Aeternum.

      An all-new event is coming to New World: Aeternum - the Faction Fest! The Faction Fest is a weekend-long event from June 27 to June 29, where the Marauders, Syndicate, and Covenant will compete to finish the most daily objectives for exclusive rewards! Plus, the winning faction will actually influence the event narrative, making it a bit more of a unique event across each server!
      How does Faction Fest work?
      As long as you are in a faction, you will be able to participate in this event (no sign-up required). Once you're within a specific faction, your progress will automatically count towards the total score for your faction. Below are some more details around the event, along with information on how you'll be able to score points for your faction:
      Each day will feature a new daily objective tied to Expeditions. These objectives will be revealed starting on June 27 via the Faction Fest event page.

After each day, all participants will earn Titles, such as Explorer and Scout. That day’s winning Faction will also be announced. An overall Faction Fest winner will be determined based on the total number of objective completions across all 3 days. There will be a Weapon Mastery XP bonus on day 3 for everyone to rally toward their final goals. All players will receive a complete armor set themed after the winning Faction.

      Learn more about the all-new, community-inspired 3v3 Arena map that's coming to New World: Aeternum.
      Prepare yourselves to test out your PvP builds in the upcoming new 3v3 arena that's coming to New World: Aeternum. This new map will be the largest arena yet, and will be showcased in a limited-time preview weekend from June 17 to June 23, just ahead of its full integration into the game in Season 9. 
      The name of this new map will actually be determined by the community through a voting process, so be sure to visit the official New World Aeternum discord to learn more about how you can cast your vote.
      Players are already getting excited to start testing out this new map, due to the following key characteristics it will include:
      This map is nearly 50% larger than existing 3v3 arena maps, with more elevation, cover, obstacles, and flanking paths. The map favors ranges players early on, but forces players into melee engagements quickly as they venture deeper within it. There are multiple landmarks scattered throughout the map, including ancient statues, waterfalls, and weathered ruins (which adds to different tactical call-outs you can share with your group members mid-battle). To further support your participation in testing out this new map, there will be Twitch Drops dedicated to the preview weekend (June 17 - June 23).  This reward includes the Hearty Twitch Cache, which will be awarded after watching 6 cumulative hours on Twitch.
      As you prepare to test your skills and abilities in this new map, consider checking out some of our many New World Aeternum PvP builds here to help you on the battlefield.
      We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

      Experience New World like never before - reach level 65 in just 2 hours, experiment with powerful artifacts, and dive into a fresh, competitive seasonal world content.
      When New World initially launched in September 2021, it was a massive success, quickly climbing to over 900,00 concurrent players on Steam and becoming one of the most popular MMOs out there. Players from around the world were drawn in by the beautiful world of Aeternum, the action-based combat, the satisfying gathering and crafting system, and of course, the large-scale PvP. 
      However, those numbers quickly fell due to a handful of reasons, including in-game bugs and item duping, server stability issues, long queue times, imbalanced economy, and a few other reasons that left a bad taste in many players' mouths.
      Since then, the team behind New World: Aeternum have made some major improvements, introducing some new weapons, a higher max gear score (725), new expeditions, new events, new raids, and much, much, more, making the game enjoyable for many of those that give it another chance.
      If you've been away from New World for a while, or are curious about giving it another shot, then the Hardcore seasonal world is your golden opportunity. This fast-paced setting will allow you to hit max level (65) in just two hours (video below on how), allow you to equip any and every artifact you'd like to test it out, and allow you to try out some of the latest and greatest additions added to the game since its initial launch, including the new 10-man Hive of Gorgons raid and the 20-man Sandwurm raid.
      Long story short, if you've ever thought "Maybe I should try New World again", this is your sign. The hardcore seasonal world is the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at what's changed since the initial launch of the game, without having to spend endless hours getting to the endgame content. 
      Please note: This seasonal world is a temporary world and will be deleted on July 8, 2025. However, it allows you to truly get a taste of what's new in the game, without requiring the massive grind.
      If you enjoy what you see when you check it out, then you can start the official grind and get back to the Aeternum you once loved!

      Discover everything you need to know about Hardcore New World, including faster leveling, unlimited artifacts, and exclusive rewards, all starting on June 3, 2025.
      It's official - New World's hardcore seasonal world will begin on June 3, 2025, and last until July 8, 2025, giving players plenty of time to max out a character and challenge some of the most difficult raids within the game for exclusive rewards. This marks the second seasonal world for New World: Aeternum, where players will be able to explore Aeternum and play the game with a major twist - this time being hardcore.
      If your character dies during this game mode, they will be forever labeled as "Fallen", limiting the number of exclusive rewards you can unlock with that specific character (more details below). Additionally, players will come across other major twists while playing in this seasonal world, including the removal of the main story quest (MSQ), and replacing it with a much shorter questline that allows you to hit max level after approximately 6 hours, as well as allowing players to use as many artifacts as possible, greatly increasing the overall power most players are used to.
      All major changes to this new seasonal world can be found below:
      No Main Questline - We’ve built a new, expedited questline to follow. This questline will give you all the experience needed for your character to reach maximum level in approximately 6 hours. It will also introduce you to the new mechanic we’re using for progressing your character on this server: Azerite Tailings. Azerite Tailings - Azerite Tailings are an item that can be dropped from multiple different locations in the world and can be used to craft new types of inventory caches for yourself. These caches will be much faster to use for gearing up your character on this server than standard loot drops. These caches can provide everything you need for your characters (such as consumables, gear, and even materials for selecting perks on artifacts.) Artifacts Unlimited - On this server, you are able to equip as many artifacts as you would like. We don’t know exactly how powerful these can become, but we want to allow you to experiment in some new ways and try some new gameplay combinations that even we haven’t seen before. War has its own unique status effect. This status effect will provide a higher potential stacking on attributes after death (as well as a damage bonus), but it also reduces your armor and absorptions while active (this is intended to help balance out some of the potential defensive power artifacts can provide). Since this is a time-limited server, territory control is not the primary focus, so we wanted to give people an opportunity to experience the mode in a different way. Honestly, we’re hoping you will all go out into the field and bonk each other over the head with foam bats and cardboard tubes for a weekend. Death Status Effects - A new status effect will be present on your character when created on this server for tracking your Unfallen or Fallen state. This is our attempt at a different kind of hardcore experience. Characters who have not died will be considered ‘Unfallen’ and characters who have died will be considered ‘Fallen.' Instead of a traditional hardcore model, where your character is simply deleted on death, this status effect will stack up, granting 25 bonus attributes per stack. However, some challenges can only be completed in an Unfallen state. Group up with others to tackle these objectives and remain Unfallen, but don’t be afraid to keep going if you do Fall, you’ll be getting stronger and stronger. Earnable Rewards - You will be able to earn new rewards for your character by completing challenges in the Season Journey on this server. These new earnable rewards are Raw Orichalcite Stone, which allows you to craft any artifact you want (out of all the artifacts you do not currently own), and Runewood Resin, which allows you to craft any T3 trophy you want. There will also be new cosmetics and titles to earn throughout this experience. These rewards will not be claimable on your seasonal character and must be claimed on one of your primary characters. Important extra note about the Hardcore server - As the focus of this server is push the limit of characters to the max, including using full sets of artifacts in endgame content such as the Gorgon raid, players will be required to have the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion to participate.
      Additional information (along with tips to help you along the way) can be found within the video below.
      We wish you luck on your future hardcore adventures throughout Aeternum!
