With the New World: Aeternum open beta now live, you can experience the revamped lands of Aeternum first-hand. Here's what you can expect to see.

This post marks the official launch of the New World: Aeternum open beta (September 13, 9AM PT). This open beta will be playable until September 16, 9AM PT, so if you are interested in taking a closer look at what this game has to offer, now is your chance.

Regardless of if you plan on playing the open beta or not, we wanted to ensure you had a good idea of what you can expect to see throughout the beta experience.

This includes:

  • Total Customization: Everything from how your character looks, the weapons and tools you use, the mounts that you ride, the emotes you show off, and much, much more is totally up to you - the player. Within the open beta, you'll be able to get a full taste of what this customization really means, and how it affects your gameplay.
  • PvP Options: Although the level cap for the open beta is level 30, you will still have the option to experience a range of PvP modes, including small-scale 3v3 arena battles and influence races, which is an open-world PvP experience where you capture towers and strike down opposing factions.
  • Mounts: If you were a player that initially tried New World out for its initial PC launch, you missed out on experiencing how mounts are implemented throughout the game. Within the open beta, you'll be able to unlock mounts at level 20, and get a better feel of how the mount system will impact your New World Aeternum experience.
  • Amrine Excavation Expedition: Players will be able to experience one of the first expeditions you'll encounter in New World Aeternum - the Amrine Excavation. This will give players a taste of the PvE experience in the game, and their take on "dungeons".
  • Day 1 Rewards: As you explore the land of Aeternum and level up your character during the open beta, you'll be able to receive exclusive rewards, such as:
    • Aeternian Trailblazer: Participate in the open beta
    • Vambrace of the Aeternian Adventurer (Gloves): Reach level 10
    • Jackboots of the Aeternian Adventurer (Footwear): Reach level 15
    • Britches of the Aeternian Adventurer (Legwear): Reach level 20
    • Tricorn of the Aeternian Adventurer (Headwear): Reach level 25
    • Greatcoat of the Aeternian Adventurer (Chestwear): Reach level 25

      Battle Royale and Capture the Flag PvP Modes Coming to New World: Aeternum
      By Savvvo
      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.
