Shortly after the start of Season 10, Amazon Games surprises the community of New World with a surprising gift that is well-received by the players.
What kind of gift is this? Since the launch, only one paid expansion has been released for New World: Rise of the Angry Earth. Until now, interested players had to pay nearly 29 euros to access the content of the content package.
Why “until now”? Well, because the developers unexpectedly announced on Steam that you can now secure the expansion for free:
- PC players who only own the base game of New World will automatically gain access to the content of the expansion. Those who downloaded the update for Season 10 do not need any further downloads.
- Players who purchased the expansion in the past 30 days will automatically receive a full refund for their purchase.
- Anyone who has purchased New World: Aeternum already has full access to “Rise of the Angry Earth”.
The trailer for the “Rise of the Angry Earth” expansion of New World:
“That was really a brilliant move”
What does the expansion include? The “Rise of the Angry Earth” expansion included the following highlight innovations:
- The area First Light has been completely revamped. It will henceforth be called Elysian Wilds and will feature new enemies, quests, and content. It will also be the central endgame zone of the MMORPG.
- Riding mounts are being introduced. These will come in three versions: horse, wolf, and lion.
- Players will soon be able to reach level 65.
- The gear score in the game will be increased from 625 to 700. Additionally, a new rarity level beyond legendary will be introduced for the equipment: the Artifacts.
- The new weapon Flail – a type of mace – will be added to the game.
- A new dungeon for players level 62+ will be released.
How is the community reacting to the initiative? Many players are celebrating the surprising gift from Amazon Games.
- Squery7 writes on Reddit: “Damn, they are really going all out this season, hopefully, they are doing well.”
- Mechanical_Soup explains on Reddit that he is directly benefiting: “As a new player who bought the game and the expansion last week, I’m glad they have refunded the expansion.”
- LetsLive97 praises on Reddit: “That was really a brilliant move on their part. Make the most of the positive mood. Maybe I will really take another look at the game now.”
LetsLive97 refers to the fact that New World has finally managed to generate positive sentiment within the community after difficult years. A big reason for this is Season 10, which has brought a whole bunch of exciting content to the servers: The hype around New World is real, and today the reason for the good mood in the community is released.
