Amazon Games has announced that New World’s second season will be called Blood of the Sands. Developers are preparing to launch the new content into the MMORPG on July 6, 2023. A new season means a lot of new content to explore, including a new Season Journey and Activity Card, new seasonal events, a new 3v3 Arena Map, a cross-world Outpost Rush, a massive sand wurm, and a mysterious change to the world map. Developers have promised that this isn’t all players can expect in season 2.
The lore says that Malek has emerged from the shadows. He and his minions are looking to find the eggs of a massive creature known as the Devourer. Players will join the Silver Crows and the Bard Rima to uncover the secrets of the order and the history of the creature they call Shah Neshen.
Blood of the Sands features
- Elite Trial: Arena of Shah Neshen – Enter the Arena of Shah Neshen the Devourer and defeat the massive sand wurm for elite rewards in a challenging new PvE game mode for 20 max-level players.
- Transmog – Coming to New World during a mid-season 2 update, players can use consumable Transmog tokens to capture the appearance of any gear collected in the world and transform it into a usable skin.
- First Light Retraction – First Light has fallen to the might of Artemis and her Angry Earth horde! The Settlement, Fort, and Trading Post in First Light are now closed. A wall of thorns has erupted along the border, barring all access into the territory until further notice
- New 3v3 Arenas Map – Battle other players in an all-new Gladiator-style 3v3 Arenas map.
There are tons more details to each of the above (and more…) on the New World official site. Be sure to stop by for a peek!
