Battle Royale and Capture the Flag are two all-new PvP modes coming to New World: Aeternum in 2025!
The PvP scene in New World: Aeternum is about to get even more interesting in 2025 with the recent living roadmap that the team shared earlier this week. Within the living roadmap was a mention of two all-new game modes: Battle Royale and Capture the Flag.
Both of these new PvP modes are categorized in their "In Development" stage of their living roadmap, and very limited details were shared thus far, but the community has already been filled with a range of questions on how they plan on implementing this, including the following:
Can "Paladin" builds (Heavy Life Staff and Flail) participate in this future Battle Royale mode due to their drastically high ability to self-heal and take minimal damage? Will the rewards for these new PvP modes be as good (or better) than the existing Outpost Rush PvP mode? How soon will these new PvP modes actually be implemented? These are just a few of the many, many questions that have already been in discussion with the New World: Aeternum community. Ultimately, the news of these new PvP modes (and mention of a new OPR map coming soon), the future of PvP in New World: Aeternum is looking bright.
