Amazon’s MMO New World has introduced the region of Windkreis (Windsward) in a mini-documentary. There are various places to explore for players.
This has been shown: In New World, you travel to the mysterious island of Aeternum, which offers plenty of opportunities for exploration with its various regions. The developers have now released a short flight over the “Windkreis” region.
In the video, a narrator talks about the idyllic landscapes that await you in Windkreis, but also about the dangers that lurk there. Among other things, there is a settlement, a fortress, and a mysterious temple.
This is what the Windkreis region holds
You can discover: The video shows a diverse landscape. From green grasslands ideal for gathering resources, it continues to the main settlement of Windkreis. There you will find a small river, a blacksmith, and a station where you can craft clothing.
In addition, you can visit places like an inn and a tannery. There you can craft ranged weapons or furniture for housing in New World.
North of the town, it becomes a bit less idyllic. There you can enter the Amrhein Temple. However, this is not necessarily recommended for beginners, as the Amrhein excavation is one of the expeditions – a dungeon that is meant to challenge players. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch was able to try this out – here he shares his experiences in the dungeon.
In the northwest of Windkreis, you will find Fort Windkreis. This is a fortress where you can compete against other players. The different factions can earn bonuses by taking control of the forts in New World. The video shows that defenders can rely on tools like repeating crossbows or ballistae, while attackers might exploit gaps in the back of the fort to sneak past the fortifications.

Additionally, the dangers of New World are described. From the “Corrupted,” which gather at the edge of the region, to the dangerous puma, it covers everything. Those who prefer to avoid fighting can instead take out their fishing rod and relax while fishing.
While the video has received mostly positive feedback from the community so far, there was recently some trouble regarding New World. The point of contention was the cash shop, which had come under criticism. Recently, however, the development team clarified how the shop is supposed to work.
