New World Roadmap Reveals Exciting Plans for Season 7

The New World: Aeternum development team recently unveiled what players can anticipate in Season 7, along with ongoing developments and ideas rooted in player suggestions. The team has been upfront about the fact that some concepts are still in the exploratory phase, lacking specific timelines, and might not ultimately be integrated into the game.

The streamlined version of New World, known as Aeternum, is crafted with enhanced storytelling and a refined progression system, particularly targeting console platforms. Key adjustments were made for console compatibility, including UI changes, preset controls, and target-lock options. Released on October 15, New World: Aeternum encompasses significant content from its PC predecessor, featuring the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion and all updates since its initial 2021 release.

In their first post-launch update, the game director Scot Lane and the developers rolled out a Living Roadmap for Season 7. This roadmap categorizes updates into Next Season, In-Development, and In-Exploration. The upcoming season will introduce new features like artifacts, perks, a new Outpost Rush map, and improved mutated expeditions. Plus, several seasonal events from the PC version are making their return.

The standout feature of Season 7 is the launch of Seasonal Worlds. As per the game’s blog, these special servers will offer a time-limited, unique gameplay experience, concentrating on New World’s famous World PvP, including loot drops upon player death and exclusive items. Progress and rewards from these servers can be continued post-season. The In-Development segment highlights medium-term plans, like additional Seasonal Worlds, an overhauled invasion mode, and new PvP formats.

Ideas in the In-Exploration phase are being actively discussed and tested by the developers, some drawn from player feedback. These could include ranked PvP, new weapons, zone level-ups, and fresh PvE modes, though their inclusion isn’t guaranteed. Amazon Games aims for clarity regarding Aeternum’s updates, promising ongoing communication about possible features and seasonal developments.

For those yet to dive into the universe, New World: Aeternum is an action RPG set on the eerie, enchanted island. Players, as shipwrecked adventurers, must explore this sprawling world, rich with hidden secrets and opportunities. Whether engaging solo or in cross-platform multiplayer, customizing characters, or wielding powerful weapons and magic, every player can find a path that suits their play style. With the prospect of managing mounts and crafting potent weapons, players are invited to master the island’s challenges and mysteries, enhancing their power and forging their destinies.
