In the announcement of the major update, however, there are even more innovations and a test server. Because before the content starts on the live server, Amazon wants to put the update through its paces in advance.
It’s all in the 1st major update
In the upcoming update, Amazon is primarily focusing on new content, which, however, does not yet include any area expansions or new expeditions. Instead, the focus is on the following innovations:
- New weapon: Doom gauntlet, which like the other weapons offers two talent trees and complements the magical weapons.
- LEgendary weapon quest for mischief gauntlets: Players who reach level 60 and level 20 with the weapon will receive a new quest in brackish water.
- New enemies: The Varangian Hunters have landed in the First Light, King’s Rock, and Immerfall areas
- More diversity with enemies: Pirate alligators, ancestor guard fire mages, Hutzelige swarm wizards and other new enemies now colonize the open world
- New quests: In West Immerfall there is a new series of quests that deal with the arrival of the new enemies.
- Improved main story quests: New task types and quest variants are introduced to provide more variety
- New PvP faction missions: Three new types of quests will be added, revolving around checkpoints, hidden plans in the enemy’s war camp and tears of your enemies.
- Update for the trading post: The trading houses of the game world will be connected to one another as previously announced.
New in the world of New World: The Varangian Hunters have landed and want to get to your feet.
All information about the test server
Before the big update reaches the live server, Amazon lets interested players try out the changes in advance. The official test server for New World starts today, November 10th.
New World buyers will receive a new Steam library listing with the names later on the day New World Public Test Realm
. You have to download it and then, as soon as the test server is online, you can venture into the innovations.
For the update, the test server starts on November 10th at 9:00 p.m. Europe time. However, there will only be two worlds: one server in the US and one in Central Europe.
The test server is completely independent of the live content and there is no way to broadcast your character. According to Amazon, however, there will be discounts on the test server for immediate level increases or special equipment so that the new content can be explicitly tested.
What does the new weapon bring?
The big highlight of the update is definitely the new weapon. The mischief gauntlet is another magical weapon that is supposed to guarantee high damage on the one hand, but also support in combat on the other.
With the mischief gauntlets, players can both cause damage and heal.
The doom gauntlets scale with the attributes intelligence and focus, making them a suitable addition to the life stick. But the doom gauntlets can also potentially be combined well with other weapons. This is mainly due to the two very different talent trees:
- Extinction: You summon a doom blade that deals damage in close combat.
- Expiration: Provides both remote healing and debuffs that you cast with an Orb of Decay. The decay tree should especially be able to show its strengths in group combat.
What about the other innovations?
The new content, i.e. enemies and quests, is aimed primarily at new players or players who are still on the low level. On the other hand, if you are already at level 60, you shouldn’t notice the arrival of the Varangian hunters unless you absolutely accept the lower-level quests. If you are already level 60, We’ll tell you in a separate article what you can do now.
In PvP, on the other hand, there is a little more variety with the three new mission types. The same applies to the new types of opponents who, according to Amazon unique combat encounters
to lead. How exactly this will work cannot yet be answered.
However, it remains to be seen whether the changes will be sufficient to keep the players in line for the long term and to bring back migrated players. However, according to Petra, New World fails for completely different reasons:

There is no release date for the update yet. How long Amazon will keep the test server running is also still unclear. The latter will probably depend on the feedback from the test players.
