New World for Windows

A New World, a new MMO experience

New World is a premium massively multiplayer online action game where players create a new hero in the world of Aeternum. This game sets itself apart by focusing on PVP, specifically a 50v50 multiplayer mode where players fight over various forts, accompanied by siege equipment and objective-focused gameplay. 

New World's focus on open PVP might depart from the gameplay most MMO players enjoy or have experienced. If that's the case for you, you might feel more at home with MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV or Elder Scrolls Online.

A new character, a new adventure

New World immediately throws players into detailed character customization. Here you can spend time creating a character that resonates with you. As an MMO, it's no surprise that you'll spend hours upon hours building this character into a hero, so creating one you're happy with is vital.

Unlike MMOs like the FFXIV or Elder Scrolls, this game removes class selection from the character customization screen. Instead, it has you grow your character by interacting with the game world, meaning each player starts with the same blank slate. Creation in this way prevents the common class anxiety associated with making the wrong choice at character selection.

Taking on the New World

Combat and questing can vary significantly in MMO titles, ranging from traditional Hotbar rotations to the action combat of newer titles. New World throws you into the action with timing-based action combat, where you must choose your combos and learn when to block or dodge to avoid damage.

This is simple to pick up but a difficult-to-master system. Controls are simple—most gamers can get to grips with them immediately. You can damage creatures worldwide by weaving light and heavy attacks with the game’s multiple weapons, including new skills as you continue to use them and level up their respective trees.

Becoming the hero you were meant to be

New World doesn't stray from the stereotypes that make MMOs great. No MMO is made complete without a plethora of quests, and players can expect to see multiple quest tropes, from fetch quests to slaying x number of these nasty creatures—nothing new to mention but done well regardless.

The real draw for players will be the expansive world and the options available to take crafting a step further. After being introduced to numerous shopkeepers, you're informed that you can begin preparing your gear if only you have the materials.

You can find various resources worldwide, from tree chopping to rock mining and killing specific creatures to get the resources needed. Once obtained, you can craft much-needed new gear to improve combat prowess and survivability.

New Worlds draw - PVP

New World places great emphasis on its PVP. Aside from five-player co-op expeditions, MMO players won't be wowed by any PVE elements, unlike FFXIV's duty finder dungeons. However, we imagine New Worlds PVP modes will surprise even more competent MMO players.

This game features a 20v20 outpost mode where both teams duel it out to capture three outposts—similar to a domination mode, with more players. The 50v50 mode also places one team in control of a fort, which they must defend against an opposing team armed with siege equipment. These modes will put your game knowledge to the test as you need to account for any possible strategy your opponents will employ against you.

Finally, there is open-world PVP which you're encouraged to participate. This essentially means that if you turn this setting on, you can attack or be attacked by other players with the setting on, creating tense, action-packed moments in the world.

What’s new?

Introducing new methods to commemorate your triumph over the formidable Spriggan Fury, The New World game brings forth an array of different ways to revel in victory. Within this immersive gaming experience, you can ignite stunning firework emotes to illuminate the expansive realm of Aeternum with vibrant bursts of color. A selection of five distinctive fireworks awaits your choice, including the dazzling Flower, bloody red Dynasty, an explosion of emerald — Dryad, purple Ancient, and captivating Shooting Star Fireworks. These fireworks can last up to two hours. Each awe-inspiring firework can be acquired individually for 1,000 Marks of Fortune, or you may opt for a bundle of 10, priced at 10,000 Marks of Fortune.

Alongside an assortment of bug fixes, players of every skill level now have the freedom to venture into Brimstone Sands without succumbing to the scorching sun. However, encountering the treacherous scorpions and sandworms presents an entirely distinct challenge altogether.

Should you venture into this New World?

New World presents a refreshing MMO experience in the captivating realm of Aeternum, focusing on PvP engagements such as epic 50v50 battles and siege warfare. Character customization allows players to create a unique hero, while combat demands tactical timing and strategic decision-making. Moreover, players can now explore Brimstone Sands without succumbing to the sun's rays, although they still need to confront the perilous scorpions and sandworms lurking in the area.
