The developers of New World have launched a new event where you can challenge a specific boss in the open world for legendary loot for about a week each month.
What kind of event is this? The new world event of New World is called “Unleashed Expeditions” and is part of the update surrounding the freshly launched “Season of the Divide”. As part of the event, you can challenge various bosses from the dungeons in the open world of Aeternum, which will rotate monthly, with only one being active at a time.
Below you can watch the trailer for the “Season of the Divide” that started on May 13:
Schedule and Rotation of the World Bosses from New World until July 2025
Characters from level 65 can face the following bosses in May, June, and July:
- Mahantaram: May 20 – May 26
- Little Sky Khepri: June 17 – June 23
- Ifrit, the Devil: July 15 – July 21
Features and Loot
According to the developers, the world bosses from New World are extensive versions of the legendary expedition bosses – only in the open world. You can start the fight by attacking the enemies at the event location – similar to Baalphazu or the Winter Warrior events.
Once the event is activated, the corresponding world boss will appear. Bring friends or join nearby allies… these battles are designed for teamwork and are hardly manageable alone. While you can expect mechanics familiar from the dungeons, they have been rebalanced and revised to provide a challenge even for larger groups.
