New World: Aeternum Season 8 “Season of the Divide” Live

Season of the Divide has arrived in New World: Aeternum, bringing with it the first Hardcore Seasonal Server, the ocean-themed Coral Divide map, and an all-new Capture the Flag mode.

Catch up on the highlights below:

Seasonal Server: Hardcore

This June, New World: Aeternum players will be able to test their might with the first hardcore seasonal experience. Where death packs consequences, the rewards are truly legendary. 

On that note, artifact equip limits have been removed, meaning that power progression has been broken wide open. One can level up faster, gear up stronger, and crush the competition.

New Coral Divide Outpost Rush Map

This New World: Aeternum season, the Coral Divide Outpost Rush map will make its permanent debut.

This new ocean-inspired arena emphasizes verticality, featuring tactical flank routes and intense center fort clashes. Changes have also been made to the Coral Divide map, including updated gates, updated Baroness’ scoring lock, and players starting with 50 Azoth to prepare before the battle.

Limited-Time Preview Events

Season 8 of New World: Aeternum will feature exciting limited-time preview events for new PvP content, including the Capture the Flag mode featuring 10v10 with powerups and jumping pads, Outpost Rush: Barebones, a gear-equalized version of the popular mode and a new 3v3 Arena Map set in an ancient grove temple.

Said events will run throughout the season, with specific dates to be announced.

Expeditions Unleashed: World Bosses

Players can rally together and take on colossal threats during limited-time, open-world events featuring a weekly rotating roster of iconic enemies from Expeditions. 

One can face off against iconic level 70 foes like Mammoth Mahantaram, Scarab Boss Khepri and Fire Naga Ifrit and more to earn up-leveled loot, including one guaranteed 725 GS item and multiple 710+ drops per event. 

New Artifacts

Season of the Divide features seven powerful new Artifacts, including The Old Crown, which boosts all attributes with gem bonuses, Relentless which provides team armor and healing, and Vampire Vestments which synergizes lifesteal and mana.

The update also adds two new gems, Jade and Turquoise and several new perks, including combat perks, Sundering Stacks, and Alternating enchantment.
