In New World there is a preview event running until September 5th, where players can try out the MMO. One player took the opportunity to explore the entire map. This was quite quick, especially compared to well-known MMORPGs.
What does the video show? The YouTuber A Rapskilian Channel walked the entire map of New World from south to north in his video. He did not use teleportation skills and also refrained from sprinting.
For his journey through New World, he took a total of 1 hour and 7 minutes. Then he reached the current end of the map. During his journey, you can admire many beautiful places that the MMO from Amazon has to offer.
New World is relatively small, but that will likely change
Is the map relatively large or small? Comparing the duration of the walking path with well-known MMORPGs, the world of New World appears quite tiny in its current state.
A good insight into the size of the maps of various players is provided by the YouTuber “How Big is the Map”. We have already reported about him because he once walked all the way through Black Desert. It took him 6:30 hours.
He also walked through the MMORPGs “A Tale in the Desert” (4:15 hours) and WoW, although WoW is divided into different continents. Just for the journey through Kalimdor, he needed 3:41 hours (via YouTube). The entire world will take many times longer.
Will the map of New World remain like this? Although the map of New World is currently quite small, MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski wishes for mounts. After all, you constantly have to walk to settlements to turn in quests, craft, or clear your inventory.
However, the map could become significantly larger in the future. Although it already offers mobs and events in all level areas in its current state, allowing you to face level 65 opponents far in the north, you can find transitions to other areas all around the edges of the map.
It is therefore very likely that this is not the final map of New World.
We at MeinMMO have taken a closer look at New World and conclude: “Despite some flaws, Amazon’s New World is a true MMO gem.”
