On March 29, New World was set to receive its biggest update since the game’s release with “Heart of the Madness.” The next day, Amazon Games announced that the update would be postponed again. A problem is preventing the release. Now there is great confusion, and players are wondering when the update will actually come out. MeinMMO reports on the news regarding the “Heart of the Madness release.”
What is the latest development? New World was supposed to receive its largest update yet with “Heart of the Madness” on March 29, 2022. One day later, it still isn’t online. Here you can read our announcement about the “Heart of the Madness” release from March 29.
After “Heart of the Madness” was postponed from the day of its release to the morning of March 30, Amazon Games announced today, March 30, 2022, via Twitter that a problem continues to prevent the update’s release. A new release date has not yet been set.
Yesterday, on March 29, there was information that a bug found during testing was preventing the release. This bug was only discovered late and needs to be fixed before the release.
There was confusion – “‘An’ update or ‘the’ update?”
Why is there confusion among players? Since neither the exact problem is publicly communicated nor a precise statement from Amazon Games regarding the new release date including time has been made or can be made, confusion among players is now great.
It is understandable that determining a new release date is currently not precise. Thus, it remains unclear how long Amazon Games will need to fix the problem.
Overall, “New World” players are divided in their opinions regarding the delay. While it is positively noted that Amazon Games is working on the bugs before releasing the update in a faulty state, there have been various views on the communication.
Some Twitter users indicated that due to this wording, it is unclear whether an information update regarding the situation or the content update of New World will be released that afternoon. The reason for this was the formulation from Amazon Games. It was not clear. The message states that “an update” will follow on the following afternoon (March 31, 2022).
Among the positive comments were players who thanked for the communication regarding the delay. MeinMMO shows you some positive and negative community opinions:
- @s0nyyy via Twitter: “The tweet was posted at 3 a.m. Does “tomorrow” now still mean today (March 30)? I can’t hold out another day.”
- @playingbalu via Twitter: “Is it then ‘the update’ or ‘an update’ from the tweet that changes the status? No one understands this communication.”
- @MartinK27897447 via Twitter: “So does that mean no update today, March 30, 2022, but on March 31, 2022? And what time then?”
- @onlyapoK via Twitter: “‘An’ update or ‘the’ update?”
- @coliathtv via Twitter: “Keep up the great communication with the player base! I am looking forward to the update!”
- @jdrayb88 via Twitter: “So is it still coming tomorrow or is it more delayed?”
- @HyperNexusPKMN via Twitter: “Glad you are taking your time. I think it’s safe to say that most of us are happy to wait for the polish.”
The communication regarding the release of an update is often difficult. When unforeseen problems arise, it is often impossible to precisely state when a game, a DLC, or something else will be released.
While Amazon Games continues to work on the release of “Heart of the Madness,” many players are eagerly waiting and following the developer studio’s communication.
