Greetings Adventurers!
Capture the Flag is bringing fast, focused PvP action to New World: Aeternum. Get a first look at the new mode during a limited-time preview event: Preview Event Start: Friday, May 16 Preview Event End: Monday, May 19 Capture the Flag offers a new way to dive into intense, short-duration matches where quick decisions and sharp teamwork make all the difference. The goal behind Capture the Flag was simple: create a PvP mode that’s instantly understandable, endlessly replayable, and a true test of quick thinking under pressure. [b]Pick a Role, Play Your Way[/b] Every Capture the Flag match is a balance of offense, defense, and rapid adaptation. Players naturally fall into roles — carrier, defender, chaser, protector — but how you fill that role depends entirely on your team’s strategy and your build. Carrying the flag isn’t easy. Slowed movement, increased incoming damage, and reduced healing keeps things balanced, while using certain movement abilities will cause you to drop the flag immediately. Every weapon loadout can run the flag, but not every loadout will survive the chase — smart play and teamwork are key. [b]Battlefields Built for Speed[/b] Both Capture the Flag maps were custom-designed to support the mode’s relentless energy. They may look familiar, but every jump pad, corridor, and power-up placement was crafted to keep fights tight and thrilling. On the field, players will find:- Power-ups — grab boosts to health, speed, or damage at critical moments.
- Jump pads — launch yourself into chaotic new angles of attack.
- No base defenses — defense is your responsibility.
- Custom-designed flags and power-up visuals
- New jump pad assets
- A fully voiced announcer hyping every clutch play
- Original music composed to match the pace of battle
