As previously announced, March will see the formal arrival of New World’s Heart of Madness update - it was made available on the public test realm earlier this month - bringing the game’s main storyline to a close with a new endgame expedition, Tempest’s Heart, which promises a “final showdown” against Isabella in a corrupted dimension of reality.
Autumn, meanwhile, brings a new desert territory and accompanying culture in the form of Brimstone Sands. Players can also expect 2022’s third endgame expedition, The Ennead, which is described as “one of the harder expeditions” in-game and “not for the faint of heart”.
Alongside all that, autumn will introduce the new Broadsword weapon, leaderboards for both PvP and PvE activities, and two new seasonal events: Nightvale Hallow and Turkulon 2022.
