Learn more about the open beta for New World Aeternum, including the in-game rewards you can unlock by participating.

It's official - the open beta for New World: Aeternum is coming to all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S) on September 13, 2024 (9 AM PT). This announcement has generated a lot of buzz for both new and returning players alike as they consider embarking this adventure throughout Aeternum in a whole new way.

Players can enjoy this open beta up until September 16 (9 AM PT), where they'll be able to get a look and feel of the revamped experience and updated main story quest. One important note is that there will be a level cap of level 30 within this open beta, limiting players from getting a closer look at some of the new end-game content that's coming to the game (such as the new PvP zone in Cutlass Keys, and the new 10-man raid).

Regardless, this is a great chance to learn more about New World: Aeternum, experience first-hand how it feels on console, and get an inside-look of all the updates that have been made.

By participating in this open beta, players will be given the opportunity to unlock limited-edition skins that will be available for their characters for the official launch of the game (on October 15, 2024). By reaching level 25 within the open beta, players will be able to unlock all potential rewards, which include the "Aeternian Trailblazer" title, and a full set of a new skin known as the "Aeternian Adventurer" set.

This open beta will be available for all players in North America, South America, Europe, and APAC.

      Eight new artifacts will be introduced soon into the land of Aeternum. Take a closer look at each here.
      With the official launch of New World: Aeternum coming on October 15, the team has been introducing more and more new content that will be added to the game - including eight new artifacts. Within New World: Aeternum, artifacts are extremely powerful items that provide one-of-a-kind perks, completely introducing a new variety of builds and playstyles with each.
      Players are only able to equip one weapon artifact, one armor artifact, and one accessory artifact at a time, so they will need to choose wisely on which artifacts they want to incorporate within their builds. This decision gets even harder on October 15, as the team brings in the following new artifacts:
      Cowl of Power (Light Headwear): Includes the "Desperate Energy" perk, which grants you a 25% increase in damage for 4s if you hit an enemy while your mana is below 50% (10s cooldown). Survivor's Coat (Heavy Chest): Includes the "Survive" perk, which states that if you get hit while below 50% health, you gain 50% stamina, lose all debuffs, and gain a potion surge that instantly refreshes your next used healing potion (120s cooldown). Ghostly Touch (Medium Gloves): Includes the "Ghostly Embrace" perk, which dispels two empower buffs from your empowered opponent when hit, while also granting you 10% empower for 10s (4s cooldown). Grace (Greatsword): Provides two unique speed-boosting perks that will provide the player with additional movement speed. Power Stone (Flail): Includes the new "Heavy Burden" perk, which makes your attacks inflicts 20% weaken for 5s on enemies as long as your health is above 90% (5s cooldown per target). Azoth Conductors (Medium Legwear): Provides the "Magician's Boons" perk, which allows the player to deal 15% more elemental damage while in medium armor weight. Elemental Band (Ring): Includes the "Elemental Affinity" perk, stating that when you hit a target with an elemental attack (not attunement or DoT), you gain a 4% empower for 6s. There is a 10s cooldown per elemental damage type, with a max stack of 1 per elemental damage type. Trsna (Warhammer): Introduces the new "Consume" perk, which provides an additional 25% lifesteal to the player when attacking knocked down enemies. As you can see from the list, these artifacts introduce completely new mechanics and playstyles to the game, keeping competitive players on their toes.
      To get a closer look at each of these artifacts, and where you can unlock them starting on October 15th, view the video below.

      New World: Aeternum introduces an all-new PvP zone being added to the Cutlass Keys territory, including new enemies, currency, and challenges.
      Although New World: Aeternum's open beta was capped at level 30, that didn't stop players from still getting a closer look at the all-new PvP zone that is being introduced to the game. This new PvP zone will be added to the lower left corner of the map (attached to Cutlass Keys), and will be an end-game location, filled with high-leveled spectral enemies, unique raw materials to be gathered, and of course, new loot.
      As players explore the new area, they will come across new chests containing a range of items being added to the game, including mystic dubloons and goldcursed coconuts - new ingredients that are required for players to craft powerful weapons and armor at maximum gear score (725).
      The general player base is excited to experience this new zone, and are hungry for even more PvP activities and options to be added to the list of what's offered today (3v3 arenas, Outpost Rush Matches, Wars, and Influence Races).
      To get a closer look at what this territory looks like, watch the video below.
