Amazon Games announced its first full expansion for New World, its signature MMORPG. Many new systems will be introduced in Rise of the Angry Earth when it launches on October 3rd. Still, perhaps the most exciting additions to the game are the mount system and the complete alteration of the world as it is currently known. “No one is certain what has become of the people and villages that once populated the area,” reads the developer post. It sounds something akin to the Cataclysm expansion to World of Warcraft years ago.
Developers are offering fans a peek into this new world shaped by upheaval. “Nature must rise and reign,” the video says. “Change is coming for us all.”
Viewers will see a world transformed by plants and animals, villages destroyed by rampant growth, and much more.
