New World: Aeternum's Season 7 update marks a major item off players' wishlists

After three long years, one of New World: Aeternum's most requested features is finally coming to the game in the Season 7 update.

New World: Aeternum's Battle Royale will offer big battles, even bigger rewards

Outside of Territory Wars and open world PvP, there are currently two standalone PvP game modes in New World: Aeternum3v3 Arena and Outpost Rush (OPR). Between these two game modes, the 3v3 arena i New World: Aeternum is a fast-paced game mode, while OPR is a much bigger time commitment where matches often last around two to three times longer. Probably because of this difference in match length between these two game modes, OPR is generally much more rewarding compared to 3v3s.


While OPR offers more rewards like gold, faction reputation, and faction tokens than 3v3s, consistently winning rounds in 3v3s is considered the fastest way to specifically earn PvP lane XP.

Since Battle Royale game modes are generally long matches, players who make it to the finalist teams in this game mode will be in New World: Aeternum will certainly be handsomely rewarded. Even players who die early in a Battle Royale match will likely still earn plenty of loot, provided the minimum entry requirements are met.


In addition to a potential free-for-all structure, New World: Aeternums upcoming Battle Royale will likely support small team sizes so it will be accessible to players regardless of their build type. For example healers i New World: Aeternum is an important part of any team composition, but a lone healer is naturally at a huge disadvantage when facing a DPS player in a duel. Consequently, an obvious way to level the playing field between healers, DPS and tanks New World: Aeternum is to support team play, while still offering a competitive option for solo players.

This activity will likely have a minimum character level requirement to participate, but beyond that the other requirements are currently unclear. Additionally, it remains to be seen if players will be able to bring their existing armor, weapons, and consumables into Battle Royale matches or if gear will need to be cleared during each match. If players can bring their existing gear, there will likely be PvP balancing similar to OPR and 3v3s, bringing players' gear points up to a minimum threshold for players who haven't reached the maximum gear points in New World: Aeternum.


To prepare for this upcoming game mode, it is recommended that players reach maximum weapon proficiency for their preferred weapon types in
New World: Aeternum

. That way, players should have a base of combat abilities to rely on regardless of their gear.

Due to the size and spectacle of this upcoming game mode, players can expect plenty of sweet, sweet loot from battle royale matches, especially for teams that manage to finish in first place. Total, New World: AeternumFuture updates have big plans to reshape the endgame PvP experience, and the new Battle Royale game mode will be one of many key features to come.
