This month, we’ll be releasing two updates into the New World Alpha focused on polish, balance, and bug fixes as we prepare for Closed Beta in July and our August 31st launch. Here's the first!

Join the next PTR for a preview of the Winter Rune Forge, new Artifacts, the fully updated main story quest, controller support, and more.

The Coral Divide Outpost Rush (OPR) preview was a hit, and key updates are on the way. Jump in for a full preview week from April 15–21 and share your thoughts on future OPR maps.

From repeatable Soul Trials to a free-for-all PvP zone, upleveled endgame rewards, and a 10-player Raid, all of our Season of Opportunity updates have been driven by player feedback.

Season of the Guardian downtime will begin for all regions at 5AM PT (12PM UTC) on April 2. Challenge the Winter Rune Forge, acquire new Artifacts, and experience the fully updated main story quest.

Survive the Winter Rune Forge, master Cooking Trade Skill changes, experience the updated Shattered Mountain main story quest, and play with a controller when Season of the Guardian releases on March 12.

Players who have yet to experience Aeternum can pick up New World for up to 60% off during the Steam Autumn Sale. Discover the post-launch updates and player-driven improvements that make now the best time to play.

We want to spotlight some community forum posts before the curtain falls on our PTR Summer Medleyfaire Event. These responses helped us reflect on the next major update and laugh about Glow Toads. How did you react to the PTR?

Aeternum is an ever-evolving world, and as such, we continue our efforts in providing our players with an assortment of ongoing new features, content, and changes. Similar to the activities leading up to our latest major update, we are approaching the release of our next large release and would like to once again invite you all to participate in the next cycle of our Public Test Realm (PTR)!
