Amazon is currently working hard on some new games to profile itself as a big player in the video game industry. And although their MMORPG New World has now been postponed several times, the developers always provide us with new information about the ambitious project.
The new trailer is all about the PvP components and explains how wars and other big battles between players and the AI go. According to the developers, they want to achieve an effect in the interaction of all components that probably no other game can achieve.
This is what wars are like in New World
New World distinguishes between two types of battles: invasions and actual wars. The former are strictly held in PvE mode, so you work with other players and fight against computer-controlled opponents. The wars, on the other hand, take place between two of the three factions in the game and consist of sieges of the previously conquered areas of a faction.
But you can't just run around and declare war on every fortress: Instead, you have to complete so-called faction missions to weaken the enemy territory. Once you have done that, you go to war with your chosen faction. It doesn't work alone or with a small group of friends, but only with an army. But this in turn consists of individual companies to which you can team up with your friends. But whether you will be drafted into war is another question.
During the war you fulfilled certain positions: For example, your company can be used as a vanguard, the selection for this is random. If you fulfill this role, you are part of the battle in which you will face 50 defending players with 50 people. If you can't meet this requirement because you don't have enough people on the team, you can ask players from the third, uninvolved party for help.

The defenders decide when the war takes place:
In the actual fight you advance ever further: As an attacker, you have to take a handful of checkpoints and take control of the territory. Once you have conquered them, the defenders cannot win them back. Thus, the pressure is increasing, because the fight is being driven ever more to the center of the area. There are also a number of weapons available for defense, which the developers list on the official New World website. From ballists to lava barrels to the popular red barrels, there is a lot on offer. You can also see many of the tools in action in the trailer.
New World’s battles seem special: Through this special battle atmosphere, New World is supposed to create a pull that lead game designer John Liberto calls "a new level of social dynamism". These scenarios, which he calls the highlights of the entire game, are intended to have an effect that no other game has achieved. The “big, epic battles, in which 50 players thunder against the gates of the fortress,” says art director Charles Bradbury, are said to be a completely unique experience.
