On October 18, the next major patch will be released in New World. In addition to a new area, the weapon “Great Sword” will be in focus. This has been desired by many even before the release and will finally be published. A trailer showcases the combat animations and abilities.
What can the Great Sword do? Like the other weapons, the Great Sword focuses on two skill trees, each with three abilities:
- “Butchery” focuses on offensive abilities and damage. With the final talent, your attacks reduce the cooldown of the abilities, making you even more aggressive.
- “Defiance” focuses on defensive abilities and crowd control. With the last talent, you also receive 5% healing from your attacks.
In the video, the animations of the weapon look powerful and fun. The video has received much praise for the presentation of the animations and abilities, which are integrated into a small story.
What else is included in the update? With the patch Brimstone Sands, the first new area since the release a year ago will be launched on October 18. Thematically, it heads into the desert, as can be seen from the new trailer for the Great Sword. Additionally, a new part of the story, which will take place in the new area, and a new dungeon will be released. Here, it will lead to a pyramid.
With the patch, the developers are also revising the first 25 levels. The quests there are supposed to be less monotonous and offer more variation in enemies.
The big highlight for many will come in November. There, completely new servers for newcomers and returnees are expected to be launched:
