My hope is you'll love what we've got now but find it getting even better every month. New World isn't meant to be a static game, we want it to be constantly evolving in ways you find fun, while still being familiar and true to its nature. That change is what we find exciting as a studio.

It's a lot of stuff, and we need your help picking which priorities to take or what completely new direction we should go. We have layers of plans for New World, from the things we want to get done the first week to the additions we'd like to be making years from now.įeatures we want to add to the game over time are (in no particular order): New weapons with completely new styles of skill-based combat, new areas of the world with distinct visual styles that make each login feel like a new journey, completely new activities (similar to fishing or the crafting professions) that fit thematically into our gameplay, more game modes like our existing War or Outpost Rush, and of course more of many things we already have - more quests, creatures, discovery, PvE and PvP. I know it isn't a revolutionary position in online gaming to take, but it still needs to be said - we view this launch as a beginning, not a completion. We know we can't please everybody, but we do our best to listen and learn from every interaction. Thanks to the people who gave us feedback on social media, our forums, in person - it's all valuable, even when we disagree. Thanks for your pre-orders, which humbled us with your evident interest. Thanks to the people who helped us test and refine, both in Alpha and Beta. Well, here we are! It's been a hectic time for the New World team since open beta and with launch here, it feels like a good opportunity to talk a bit about New Worlds future.įirst off, thank you, the players.
