New World promises gobs of new content ahead of its next test in November

September 4, 2020 10:30 AM

As Amazon’s New World winds down its late-summer preview event, the studio has a new dev blog up, admitting it’s been “humbled” by the player response to the event and discussing the game’s next steps – specifically, its next testing phase and what types of content it’ll be adding.

“We will continue development, now armed with a vast amount of feedback, suggestions, and data. We plan to focus on adding more mid and end game content but also features that are just fun,” the studio writes. “In particular, we are working toward adding more in the areas of game modes, land mass, AI variety, additional weapon types, quest variety, and more. We are excited to share our vision for New World with you, and will continue pushing in this direction until we feel we have the right amount of content and polish for the great launch our players deserve.”

The next phase of testing will apparently be in November; details on how to sign up for that test and beyond will be shared later on in the fall. You do have a few more hours left to play today, though, as this event doesn’t end until 3 p.m. EDT.

Here’s a quick peek at all our own coverage of the preview event:
