      New World Aeternum update 1.3.0.5 is now live, bringing back a seasonal favorite, improvements to the new OPR map, and a variety of gameplay fixes.
      New World Aeternum's latest update (1.3.05) is now live, and it introduces a handful of additions to the game, including the return of the Rabbit's Revenge event, another preview of the new Outpost Rush map (Coral Divide), and a handful of notable fixes. Additional information for each of these can be found below.
      Rabbit's Revenge 2025
      Something wicked this way hops. Starting April 15 - May 13, Corrupted Rabbits return to Aeternum — twisted, feral, and hungry for chaos. Hunt them across the wilds to earn exclusive loot, including the new Corrupted Rabbit’s Armor set (legs, gloves, boots) and complete your look with the all-new Corruption’s Rabbit Helm in the store.

      Outpost Rush: Coral Divide Preview 2
      The team has taken the initial OPR feedback and suggestions from the first preview weekend of the Coral Divide OPR map and have made key changes and fixes to help with the playability of the map. Join the team again for a second preview from April 15th - April 22nd.
      Changes made for this preview include:
      Cleaned up the environment collision to aid in navigating the map. Removed vegetation to help with visibility and performance. Adjusted fort entrances so they are equally distant from Sol outpost, allowing both teams to arrive at the same time. Adjusted lighting to reduce saturation and improve visibility throughout the map. Reduced the cost of buildable bridges to 40 stone/40 wood and made them buildable from both sides. Removed the barriers leading to Baroness. Adjusted the subterranean areas of the map to improve visibility. Fixed an issue that allowed player to mantle wall of Star Outpost in the original Outpost Rush. Fixed an issue where players were able to platform into Sol & Astra outposts, bypassing the gates. Fixed an issue that caused Outpost Luna icons in Trench to not appear when zoomed in. Fixed issues where the terrain was raised above the ground in multiple areas.
      Notable Fixes
      The notable fixes made in this update include the following:
      The team is currently looking into the cause of VFX culling across Aeternum and have implemented changes that will resolve some of these VFX culling issues, but not all of them. This is a high priority for our team, so we will continue to dive into this to provide a full fix. Fixed an issue with body blocking in raids on PvP servers when players are differing factions Fixed an issue causing Typhon to sometimes remain in phase two when phase three is initiated. Fixed an issue that allowed players to activate Hatchet's Berserk ability without playing its animation. Fixed the Season Pass 'Hail to the King Seasonal World Bonus Challenge' Task not mentioning you need a melee weapon equipped for the challenge to be completed. We look forward to seeing you in Aeternum!

      After obtaining the new rewards from the Rabbit's Revenge event, players discover that they can unlock a new "Pet Rabbit" emote by defeating a certain enemy with a specific weapon.
      This year's Rabbit's Revenge event in New World Aeternum has brought a handful of new, limited-time rewards to the New World community, but one of these rewards provide a hint for players to unlock a hidden emote. To be more specific, players can unlock the "Corruption's Peak" Flail weapon as a reward by defeating corrupted rabbits throughout Aeternum. They can get lucky and get this item after killing even just one rabbit (1% drop chance), but if luck is not on their side, they will get it as a guaranteed drop after defeating 300 rabbits.
      The Corruption's Peak Flail has a unique perk known as Rabbits Revenge, which has the description of, "Not even Stanley can withstand the corruptive power of this weapon". This description was a clear hint for players to visit Rabbit Island, which is the home of a unique named rabbit mob named Stanley.

      Players quickly realized that if they defeat Stanley, that they get a unique item - the Pet Rabbit Emote Reward! Once opened, it unlocks the hidden "Pet Rabbit" emote, allowing players to pull a rabbit out of their pocket, and pet it regardless of where they are.
      If you're a fan of New World: Aeternum, or a completionist, be sure to grab this weapon, hunt Stanley, and claim your hidden emote!
      For a step-by-step guide on how to unlock this emote, watch the video below.

      Take a closer look at what changes are coming to the Coral Divide OPR map after a weekend of testing.
      One of the biggest topics of conversation in the lands of Aeternum lately has been all around the new Outpost Rush (OPR) map, the Coral Divide. New World: Aeternum players were given an opportunity to test out this upcoming map during a specific weekend in order to provide their feedback to ensure that it's ready for the official launch - but what type of feedback did the team end up receiving?
      Luckily for us, the team shared a detailed explanation of what's changing with the map many of us have already tested, as well as an additional chance to test out this map (with the new changes) from April 15 to April 21. 
      Learn more about what's changing below:
      General Improvements
      Map Size Adjustment – Reducing unnecessary open space to keep engagements dynamic and fast-paced. Terrain Optimization – Smoothing out rough terrain and obstacles that disrupt movement and combat. Improved Visibility – Adjustments to lighting, foliage, and environmental clutter to enhance clarity. Objective and Balance Changes
      Resource Node Placement Tweaks – Relocating and balancing resource nodes to ensure fair access for both teams. Fortifications Adjustments – Modifying outpost defenses to prevent excessive turtling or overpowered positions. Updated Spawn Locations – Refining respawn points to reduce spawn camping and unfair positioning. Revised Capture Mechanics – Improving interaction points for smoother and more intuitive captures. Combat & Engagement Enhancements
      Adjusted Line of Sight – Reducing frustrating sniper spots while maintaining strategic positioning. Better Combat Flow – Enhancing chokepoints and engagement areas for more balanced fights. More Cover Options – Adding or repositioning cover elements to prevent open-field vulnerability. Quality of Life Updates
      Minimap Enhancements – Updating icons and labels for better clarity on objectives and player locations. Bug Fixes & Performance Optimizations – Addressing player-reported issues affecting gameplay stability and fairness. To participate, open the Activity Finder and queue for Outpost Rush during the event window (April 15 - April 21). Be sure to also join the discussion in the official Discord to share your feedback on the new updates to the map.
