New World Team Sneaks in New Dual Dagger Skill Tree In-Game

Although the recent news regarding New World: Aeternum closing its doors in 2026 also included a mention that, “the recently launched Season 10 and Nighthaven update will serve as the final content release for New World…”, the team still seems to have a few tricks up their sleeves.

In a recent minor update, which included some minor QoL improvements and bug fixes, it seems like the New World team snuck something directly into the game for players to discover for themselves – the Dual Daggers skill tree!

It was never “officially” announced, but the entire community were expecting the next weapon to be released to be Dual Daggers – and we were right! The entire skill tree for Daggers is now in-game, and players can log in right now and take a closer look if they’d like.

If you’re interested in learning more about what each of these skills and passives are, we highlight each and every one of them in the video below.

Please note: It seems like players can actually use Daggers now in-game, and they can get Daggers from a new NPC located in Reekwater with a new in-game currency (obtained from chests throughout Reekwater). Take a look at our recent post on the Launch of Daggers in New World to learn more about how to get them, and what they look like!

Stay tuned for more easter eggs and hidden updates that might make its way into Aeternum – we’ll be sure to keep you updated!
