This weekend, Amazon has released new screenshots of New World. This time, Brightwood is in the spotlight. Contrary to what the name might suggest, it is not so bright and friendly here. Its theme fits more with the currently dark and autumnal season.
What can we expect in Brightwood? Currently, New World regularly presents us with a new area from the Alpha. While the past weeks have focused on Windsward, Brightwood is now in the spotlight.
Both areas have in common that they are forested. While Windsward also includes fields and meadows, Brightwood feels significantly darker and its forest denser. However, not all areas of the game are necessarily dark as the screenshots from September show.
The environment of the game is comparable to present-day North America. As such, we will likely see forests and green spaces quite often in the early stages, as we start on the East Coast.
The further we progress in the game, the more diverse the regions may become.
The new screenshots of New World:





Are there also videos of New World? For the area of Windsward, the developers even released a short video some time ago. In it, they only walk through the area, but it gives us an impression of the new environment.
Otherwise, there was only an initial leak in the past, which has since been deleted. We have gathered all important information about it for you.
How can I sign up for the Alpha of New World? Registration for the Alpha takes place through the New World website. There you can click on the big “Register button” and will be redirected to an Amazon page. On this page, you can register with your account.
From time to time, there is also a chance to get an Alpha account through special giveaways. One of these took place last week on the Twitter account of New World. 30 new participants were selected in this action.
However, so far only a few players are allowed to explore New World. These players are also under a non-disclosure agreement. You can find more information on the Alpha in this article.
