So far, the new MMO New World has not been released yet, but the world can already be viewed. Resourceful players from the community have now found a hint on the official map that additional areas will be added to the game.
How will the map get bigger? A few days ago, New World released an official interactive map of the game. In the far northwest, north and northwest of the Bruchberg, there is still a blank spot. Apparently, a new area is expected to appear right there.
Where does the info come from? Some players have discovered cryptic signs on the official interactive map of New World (via reddit.com). No one knows yet what exactly these signs mean.
However, there is another hint at this point on the map. If you investigate the northwest, after a short time the message appears: “This region will appear soon.” This serves as a confirmation that the map will still be expanded.
If you want to try it yourself, visit the interactive map of New World and navigate north until you find the Bruchberg. Then go a little further northwest and pause there for a moment – you should then receive the corresponding message.
“Brimstone Sands” – Leak hints at new area
What kind of new area is this? A few weeks ago, there were already rumors about a new area called “Brimstone Sands” – roughly translated as: Sulfur Desert. Some community members have forged their way to the otherwise unreachable area.
The desert, based on initial images, is a barren, desolate place and some fans suspect that the region will be somewhat themed around Egypt. At least pyramids would fit well.
Others also suspect pyramids, but rather lean towards Ziggurat-like structures of the Inca, Maya, or Aztecs. This would fit better with New World. However, the name “Sulfur Desert” could also indicate a volcanic area.
When will the area come? So far, there is no official information about the new region. Therefore, it will probably only appear after release, possibly with the first content update.
New World itself will be released on September 28, 2021, for PC. After several delays, this date is now confirmed, even though the community is discussing after the last beta, whether New World should be postponed again.
What do you think? Will New World meet the release date and will the new region appear at launch or later? Leave us a comment!
