In the Aeternum Tour, the developers of New World regularly provide insights into the various areas of the game. The latest video focuses on one of the endgame zones. We at MeinMMO were allowed to exclusively publish this video in advance.
What does the video show? The latest video in the Aeternum Tour showcases the endgame area Bruchberg. There, many of the Corrupted lurk, enemies that have been tainted by the mysterious mineral Azoth.
The area Bruchberg is divided into different zones and special locations:
- On the way north, there is the small settlement Bergklause and to the east, the outpost Mountain’s Ascent. They serve as a refuge for players.
- However, the Corrupted also have various fortresses under control in the area, including Caminus, which was already shown early in screenshots.
- North of Bergklause, there is also a mine of the Corrupted, Ambusti Inferior. This mine is said to be particularly difficult to traverse due to its labyrinth system.
- Also in Bruchberg is the cave Rotfellow Hovel, where some of the strongest opponents of Aeternum are said to roam.
The biggest challenge, however, is supposed to be Duskheim. This is the largest fortress of the Corrupted, and only the strongest players are said to be able to fight their way through.
The various zones will be thoroughly introduced to you in this video:
In recent weeks, videos of the areas have been published repeatedly. One shows an idyllic region with a powerful PvP fortress.
New World placed a great focus on new mid- and endgame content during the alpha
What is the problem with endgame and New World? During the first test in summer 2020, New World left a mixed impression. The monotonous quests were particularly criticized. But there were also great concerns regarding mid- and endgame content.
At the time of the test, the game offered only a boss fight arena, a few open-world events, one endgame area, and PvP wars for fortresses, which were only available at certain times.
However, during the alpha, these points of criticism were worked on intensively:
- The quests were revised multiple times and even received voice acting. Additionally, numerous new quests were added.
- New endgame areas were released.
- The first dungeons were introduced, one of which we were able to try out.
- A new PvP mode was introduced, and the optional open PvP became more interesting.
- Fishing was added as another endgame activity.
Whether these contents are sufficient to keep players engaged in the long term will be shown in the weeks after the release, which takes place on August 31, while there will already be a beta for New World in July.
What do you think of New World in general, the area Bruchberg, and the endgame content? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Overall, New World has increasingly developed into a theme park MMORPG in recent months. We at MeinMMO do not find this bad: New World is becoming more and more of a theme park MMORPG and that’s a good thing.
