History of New World
New World continues to grow, change, and adapt thanks to player feedback, seasonal content, and expansive narratives. Since the game launched in September 2021, Aeternum now features more Expeditions, weapons, threats, zones, and game modes. There are also revamped main storyline quests and vast quality of life improvements.What is New World: Aeternum
New World: Aeternum is the definitive New World experience. It includes the New World base game, the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, and all update content like Brimstone Sands, plus a fully revamped storytelling approach with enhanced dialogue, in-game cinematics and pre-rendered scenes, the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, a challenging 10-player raid, new endgame solo trials, and more.New PvP Zone: The Cursed Mists
The foggy southwest reaches of Cutlass Keys are a lawless place, where the “Golden Greed” curse of La Esperanza’s treasure drives fortune-hunters to murderous madness. Even the closest of companions are liable to lethally betray one another. Gather Cursed Doubloons and resources, but you’ll have to escape before other looters steal your spoils. We’ll go deeper into the Cursed Mists as part of an upcoming behind the scenes article.
New 10-Player Raid: The Hive of the Gorgons
One of the most exciting new features coming is our first-ever 10-player raid, the Hive of Gorgons. After defeating Medusa in New Olympus, players will learn of a new threat. The Gorgons have risen, and they’re raising an army of the Hercyne. To stop them, you’ll have to assemble a team of powerful players, enter the hive, and negotiate a gauntlet of challenging puzzles and epic boss battles. Look forward to learning more in an upcoming developer deep dive.
This is the first chapter of a new era for us, and we can’t wait to share everything we’ve been working on with you this October. Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.
