What Are the “Trials of Aeternum,” the New Event in New World? Complete Guide

Amazon Games is giving a boost to a promising MMO that faced a rocky launch. The developers are returning with an improved console version and an expansion bringing fresh content.

The Trials of Aeternum event invites players to participate in team challenges, creating real competition for unlocking exclusive rewards. Participants are divided into three teams: Team Mountain, Team Forest, and Team River. Whether you play on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, each team must collaborate to achieve common objectives.

Teams need to complete specific tasks to progress through the event. Here are the challenges for the first week:

• Unlock your first mount (level 20 required)

• Reach level 35

• Purchase your first house

• Complete a standard expedition

• Raise a trade skill to level 150

Progress will be updated daily at 7 PM CEST. By achieving these objectives, all team members will receive unique skins based on their faction. Even though players are divided into teams, everyone works on the same challenges regardless of server or platform. Rewards will be distributed at the end of each week, with three weeks of challenges planned in total. Note that only standard servers are eligible for this event.

This addition promises to rekindle interest in New World, so get ready to tackle the challenges awaiting you in Aeternum!
