After almost 2.5 years, the main story of New World is set to end. A developer is now revealing new details on how it will look in the new MMORPG update.
What kind of update is this? The new update for New World is set to be released on March 12 and will mainly overhaul the combat and animations. The goal is to provide a smoother experience when many players are in one zone.
In addition to the improvements, the final update for the story will also be introduced into the game. In a developer interview, Senior Narrative Designer Lula Lucent revealed how the work on the story update went and what players can look forward to – completely spoiler-free.

The story update brings us closer to the Angry Earth
What is the story expansion about? The group Angry Earth is the theme of the New World expansion that was released at the end of last year. The new update of the game is supposed to bring them even closer to us.
Lucent reveals in the interview that a new, extraordinary character will be part of the story. Phaeris is supposed to be a new playable character that, while belonging to the “Angry Earth” swarm consciousness, is meant to be different from the others. The NPC is expected to make a brief appearance but leave a lasting impression.
Through the new character, we are supposed to gain insights into the world of the Corrupted and learn more about their secrets. Furthermore, the designer mentions that he wondered how the Angry Earth perceives life there – we can be curious about what exactly he means by that.
What else was revealed in the interview? The layout of the areas is supposed to be particularly well thought out this time. Some areas have been specifically built for certain bosses so that the interesting locations stay in players’ memories.
Additionally, attention has also been paid to the “World Trains.” The areas were designed by the developers considering how well activities like “Chest Runs” can be performed there. The story developer mentions that his first “Chest Run” was the most exciting thing he has ever experienced in an MMO. Fans of such activities can look forward to it.
Besides the story of New World, many other things are also changing in the MMORPG. A new feature from the update can even be activated now, making it much more pleasant for you to move around.
