A new update will appear in the next few days on the PTR for a scheduled for release in October. On the occasion of New World’s anniversary, the developers have decided to offer new content to the community.
In order to relaunch the appeal of the game and welcome new players, thehe first levels of the game benefit from an overhaul of quests and stories. Indeed, the NPCs will be able to move and will therefore provide a common thread. The developers emphasize the quality of life of the players. Thus, the main scenario has been modified to make it easier for new players to follow the lore of New World.
In the new patch, players will be able to experience a whole new region, Sulphide, but not only. Indeed, players will be able to enjoy of a new weapon: the Greatsword. This two-handed weapon will scale to Strength and Dexterity. It will therefore easily combine with other weapons.
Two postures will be usable: offensive and defensive, allowing different gameplay depending on your preferences. Weapons that are already available should not benefit from any changes, although some improvements can be expected.
Sulfur, the new region, will bring new enemies as well as new territory to control. The area is inspired by Egyptian myths and legends. This new region will bring new end-game content as well as a new dungeon.
PVP does not seem to be highlighted in this new patch, but the developers continue to work on this aspect of the game.
