Season 7 Begins: New World Announces Start Date and Plans

Amazon Games is gearing up for the grand launch of New World: Aeternum Season 7, also known as the Season of Conquerors, slated for January 21, 2025. This new season promises an array of exciting additions and improvements, focusing heavily on player-versus-player (PvP) gameplay with the introduction of Seasonal Worlds. These worlds feature unique mechanics and engaging dynamics designed to rejuvenate the gaming experience.

New World initially made waves as Amazon’s first big-budget video game roughly three years ago, capturing the community’s interest with its immersive gameplay. However, the game saw a decline in its player base over time. Undeterred, Amazon has consistently rolled out updates and expansions to enhance gameplay, such as the popular Rise of the Angry Earth expansion. Rebranding under the name New World: Aeternum on October 15 marked a significant refresh for the game, introducing a wealth of updates that resonated well with players. With this strong foundation, the developers are all set to take the game up a notch as they reveal intriguing details about the forthcoming Season 7.

Season 7, titled Season of Conquerors, is designed to captivate both PC and console gamers. Key features include Seasonal Worlds with unique themes and rules that promise a dynamic and engaging gaming experience. The debut seasonal world emphasizes PvP battles, allowing players to activate PvP flags from level 15. They can also acquire formidable gear that drops upon death. Once the season concludes, these worlds will shut down, but players have the option to move their characters to a permanent world of their choice.

As the release date nears for New World: Aeternum Season 7, players can anticipate a slate of compelling seasonal events. The popular Rabbit’s Revenge event makes its return, this time rewarding players for hunting down corrupted rabbits. Additionally, the Legacy of Crassus event dares adventurers to take on the notorious Roman general and his colossal allies for high-end loot. The new Siege of Sulfur event involves teams defending worm eggs against sulfurous foes—preparing players for a tactical challenge. Plus, there will be a preview weekend for the Outpost Rush map, giving players an early peek at its revamped layout and mechanics.

Several improvements are on the horizon with this season. M3 Expeditions will see notable upgrades, offering standardized gear loadouts for mutated expeditions, simplifying the process of assembling teams with the addition of a matchmaking system. New artifacts, including the Void Gauntlet: Fracture and Life Staff: Hecet, are set to debut alongside an updated Season Pass. The pass will include both Free and Premium tracks loaded with exclusive rewards and cosmetics. This major update also promises technical enhancements, tackling bugs related to targeting issues in expeditions and world mobs, as well as player skills and effects.

All in all, the enhancements in New World: Aeternum Season 7 are set to invigorate the player experience, offering a richer, more polished engagement with the game world. Whether you’re a battle-hardened veteran or a shipwrecked explorer just setting foot on Aeternum’s shores, there’s a new adventure waiting for everyone.
