According to a new announcement made via the game’s official blog on Tuesday February 16, New World will now launch on August 31 instead.
“With this extra time we’ll be able to add these substantial improvements while polishing and fine tuning the whole game before we open Aeternum’s shores to the world”, the studio said.
Amazon Game Studios also detailed three pieces of content that can be experienced during the Closed Beta tests – Ebonscale Reach, Expeditions and Outpost Rush.
Ebonscale Reach will be a new end-game zone in which “an exiled empress is building a corrupted fleet there that could threaten the entire world”.
Expeditions will be five-player experiences that pit teammates against difficult challenges, requiring skills and coordination among players.
The Outpost Rush will be a 20 versus 20 battle, set in a “primordial river basin filled with forgotten ancient technologies”.
