What is New World Aeternum and how is it different from New World? New World Aeternum is essentially a culmination of all patches, content expansions, and updates for New World, along with new content that is coming to the game on October 15th that has yet been played by players. Another thing that New World Aeternum has is it has more of a focus on the solo and co-op experience than was previously available. And when you look at what they have done, they've kind of revamped that questing process to include cut scenes and cinematics that sort of better explain what's happening. And New World: Aeternum features all major content from New World on PC, including the full base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, as well as all seasonal content and updates that have been released since New World launched in 2021.
TARGET LOCK CHANGES
● Killing a PvP opponent in target lock will no longer automatically switch to another target
Target lock now breaks more aggressively when losing line of sight to your target.
● A character's turn speed is now slower when using target lock.
● Temporary - Blunderbuss now deals less damage in PvP.
CROSS-WORLD ARENAS & IMPROVED MATCHMAKING
● Finding matches in 3v3 Arenas will now be much easier thanks to cross-world matchmaking.
NEW PVP ZONE: THE CURSED MISTS
● The foggy southwest reaches of Cutlass Keys are a lawless place, where the “Golden Greed” curse of La Esperanza’s treasure drives fortune-hunters to murderous madness. Even the closest of companions are liable to lethally betray one another.
