New World: Aeternum: Capture the Flag Preview Weekend

by nickibre

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. Pick a Role, Play Your Way 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 d...

New World Aeternum Season 8 has Hardcore worlds with super-fast progression

by editor@pcgamesn.com

While New World's overhaul and expanded relaunch as New World Aeternum was meant to re-establish the MMO as one of the genre leaders, the initial excitement for it has been wilting. On Steam at least, player counts have been gradually tailing off ever since the initial Aeternum spike last year, but with the game's upcoming Season 8 update, it's introducing some high-risk, high-reward gameplay in new Hardcore worlds and testing out plenty of new PvP experiences too.

New World Aeternum: Season 8 - Season of the Divide Dev Update

by nickibre

Greeting, Adventurers! Season 8: Season of the Divide is on the way, and with it comes a new wave of content, features, and updates for New World: Aeternum. To help players better track what’s coming next for Season 8 and beyond, we’re continuing with our Living Roadmap format. Our goal is to keep you informed as development progresses across three stages: Next Season (short-term): What is coming in the next seasonal update. In-Development (mid-term): What is in active development and will be coming in upcoming seasons and updates. In-Exploration: Ideas the Dev team is discussing or exploring. These are features we've heard from players would be exciting for them, or that we just think would be good additions to the game. Some might move to in-development, some might fall off altogether if they are determined to not be feasible or are no-longer of interest to our players, but we want to show what we're investigating here in the studio. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/5rGSBhtZ...
