Amazon Games has announced the upcoming fifth season of the MMORPG New World. Season of the Guardian officially launches on March 12 and will add a new seasonal challenge called Winter Forge, which will challenge groups of up to 10 max-level players to overcome rune puzzles, destroy an ice construct, and encounter an ancient ice guardian for “unique rewards.”
Season 5 also adds eight new artifacts to New World. Players can look forward to the following additions and improvements:
New Season Pass: The new Season Pass includes a new activity map, new missions, and new rewards including cosmetics and consumables. Spring Bloom: The Time of Awakening has come again, calling on your children to share an ancient secret that can bring true freedom. Help Herald Bloom unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Whispybloom and color in Springtide’s seasonal rewards. Revenge of the Rabbit: The plague of rabbits has returned to the New World and is even more dangerous than before. Help destroy the plague to earn unique event rewards, and watch out for explosions during the hunt. Gamepad Support: Gamers who prefer to hit the road with their favorite game controller in hand can look forward to controller support coming to New World. Skill Changes: Ingredient updates, cooking progression revisions, Legendary Fish recipe tweaks, removal of split food attributes, and more.
That’s not all. Amazon Games has updated the combat and animation systems to improve performance. Mounts are now available for use in Outpost Rush. Last but not least, the main story has been completely redesigned based on community feedback.
The Season 5 patch PTR will launch on February 14th.
