Cut through Corruption with the new Daggers weapon, featuring S tier Dexterity scaling and E Tier Strength scaling. We wanted to give you a chance to play this new weapon class despite its unfinished state, so some bugs and issues are to be expected.
The Daggers implement a unique combat mechanic called Combo Points. Each hit will build Combo Points that can be consumed to activate abilities. Consume additional points to enhance each ability in a variety of ways.
This weapon includes six new and unique abilities: Frenzied Slashes, Double Neck Stab, Thrusting Slice, Ambush, Crippling Sling, and Stealth. Perk Charms are also available through Reekwater and Cutlass shops.
The mastery trees for Daggers are Blades and Stealth. The Blades tree focuses on applying aggressive pressure to targets via mobility, and rapid and precise attacks. The Stealth tree focuses on sneak attacks and making it difficult for your target to escape.
Double Neck Stab: Leap towards and stab down at the target dealing strong damage to the target.
Deal bonus damage per combat point consumed, and if at full combo points, it is a guaranteed crit.
Frenzied Slashes: Deal a flurry of 7 rapid slashes attacks, alternating main hand and off hand attacks.
Deal bonus damage per combo point consumed, and if at full combo points, main hand attacks inflict Scoundrel’s Venom, dealing DoT stacks of damage to targets
Thrusting Slice: Dash forward dealing damage to all targets you go past.
If you hit an enemy with the dash, and have sufficient combo points, you can consume some combo points to repeat the dash, with upgrades it can be repeated up to 3 times per use.
Blades Ultimate: Critical hits inflict a stack of Scoundrel’s Venom, and heal for 2.5% of your base health when hitting a target with an attack that would inflict Scoundrel’s Venom.
Stealth: Enter a state of stealth making it harder for enemies to see you. Attacking enemies from stealth will surprise them, further upgrades to stealth will grant bonus damage when attack surprised enemies.
Stealth does not consume combo points.
Ambush: A low double slash that deals strong damage, and if triggered from stealth or if the hit is a backstab, the hit will root enemies.
Deal bonus damage per combo point consumed, if at full combo points, root is applied without stealth or backstab.
Crippling Sling: Throw a dagger forward dealing damage to the target it hits, and if triggered from stealth or if the hit is a backstab, the hits will slow enemies.
If you have sufficient combo points, you can consume some combo points to repeat the throw, with upgrades it can be repeated up to 3 times per use.
Stealth Ultimate: Deal 20% increased damage to targets inflicted with Dagger’s roots or slows. And for 5s after using an ability, gain 20% haste for 5s when facing an enemy.
Thank you for your continued support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.

New World: Aeternum - Season 10: Nighthaven downtime will begin at 5:00 a.m. PT (12:00 p.m. UTC) on October 13 and last approximately 2 hours. Explore a realm hidden from Aeternum for generations.
Uncover the fate of the Tear of Gaea, navigate treacherous alliances, and face threats born from darkness itself. Between a mysterious new zone, evolving endgame systems, and a 10-player raid, this season reshapes how you journey and endure. The Nighthaven update will release on Monday, October 13 and will be free for all New World: Aeternum owners.
An ancient land rich with history, Nighthaven was largely cut off from the rest of Aeternum for lifetimes under the direction of its powerful king. Those few who did visit the haunting woods and mighty castles tell stories of mysterious figures, tall and lithe, engaged both in the politics of the court and in the dark hallways of the land’s many ruins. These inhabitants can be both charming and welcoming, or vicious and fearsome, depending on how they view those that they interact with. They rule at the behest of their king, carving out pieces of the land that they oversee on his behalf.
There are also stories of monstrous creatures that seem to exhibit the qualities of both man and beast. Although they have largely been known to stalk the dark forests and hills of Nighthaven, they have recently become bolder, becoming a more ever-present threat.
Nighthaven is a land shrouded in mystery, where the dark holds sway over the light. Power lies deep in the catacombs and ruins of this land for those who are bold and brave enough to venture there. Discover the secrets hidden in the shadows of these ancient halls, and use them to confront the threats endangering not only the people of Nighthaven, but the whole of Aeternum as well.
To get the most out of Nighthaven, you’ll need to do a little more exploration than in previous zones. Your journey will take you through uncharted underworld catacombs and complex castles and vertical structures. The quest tracker won’t always tell you exactly where to go or what to do, and the best rewards will only come to those who explore.
After the events of Elysian Wilds, Morgaine left with the Tear of Gaea to sequester it somewhere safe, away from ambitious intent. However, it seems that her journey was met with ill fortune, and the Tear has gone missing. She is once more turning to the Soulwarden in an attempt to recover the Tear and keep the world safe from whatever nefarious intent may be planned for it!
Travel within the newly discovered land of Nighthaven, and engage the enigmatic and mysterious figures that call it home as you search for the divine artifact. Search through ageless ruins and the facades of opulence as you work to uncover the truth of what is happening in this isolated and reclusive land. But be wary, as trust is a commodity in short supply throughout Nighthaven.
Catacombs is a new game mode in which up to three players explore the depths of a procedurally generated dungeon, battling a wide variety of enemies and bosses, gaining unique mode-specific powerups, collecting cursed resources and currency, and racing to successfully exit and cleanse their treasures before time runs out.
While the difficulty of Catacombs is moderate at the start of a session, the challenge (and reward) is increased significantly each time a boss is defeated. To counter this, players are able to acquire in-mode power-ups that enhance their stats and abilities. With each boss defeated, players must decide between pushing further into the Catacombs for even greater rewards or safely making their exit before time run out. Failure to make a safe exit results in loss of the vast majority of the treasures collected, but only one player needs to safely exit to avoid this.
The procedurally generated nature of the mode makes every run different. Each session presents the players with a uniquely generated Catacomb constructed from a tile based algorithm. The layout of the Catacomb is revealed room by room as players explore. Enemies, encounters, bosses, and hazards are different in every run. Each time you delve into the Catacombs, you’ll need to explore and chart the map, and decide how to spend your limited time. Will you press forward, or backtrack to get more powerups before advancing? And will you have enough time to extract with your spoils?
In a successful Catacombs run you’ll earn two new currencies, Sterlings and Crowns. Sterlings are earned all over the dungeon, but Crowns only come from bosses (only the second one and beyond). To trade these currencies for Catacombs-specific rewards, you’ll need to bring them to the Catacombs Delver near the Inn in Nighthaven’s settlement, Tularest Abbey.
You can access Catacombs from the Activity Finder.
Isle of Night is a new 10-person end game raid. The raid is set in a once magnificent kingdom whose inhabitants have now fallen Lost. Similar in length and format to Hive of Gorgons, this raid features three new bosses and multiple new enemy types, light puzzles, and set piece encounters. This raid will be some of the hardest content in the Season 10, demanding players gear-up and coordinate to succeed.
Nighthaven brings with it numerous game-wide changes to systems, progression, gearing, and rewards. Our goal with these changes is to form a connective tissue that motivates a variety of play in endgame activities, and enables players to customize their loadouts in ways they never could before to discover unique and powerful combinations of equipment.
Along with a level cap increase, gear score is raising from 725 to 800. PvP modes that currently scale gear to 700 will now scale to 775.
Instead of one customizable gem socket, gear can now have up to four empty sockets, into which players can install new perk modifiers called "charms." Charm sockets and charms themselves have 4 types: Gem, Defensive, Offensive, and Skill. The new charms can be picked up fully refined, but more commonly will need to be crafted with rare materials which drop from endgame content.
We are introducing set bonusev for the first time. These ultra rare sets of gear will be earned from pinnacle endgame content: Isle of Night Raid, Catacombs, and the PVP Track. We want to encourage players to mix and match these sets to achieve their desired build type, so they aren’t all-or-nothing.
Set bonuses come in two types: some bonuses activate at two equipped pieces and then get better at four equipped pieces (2/4), and some only activate at three pieces and then get better at five pieces (3/5). This means there are seven possible combinations of set bonus configurations: 2,2,2,2,2; 4,4,2; 5,5; 5,3,2; 4,3,3; 4,2,2,2,2; and 3,3,2,2. It’s up to you to decide the best combination of effects that best suits your unique playstyle.
To round out the long-term chase, we've ushered in a new generation of Umbral Shards. This means that all gear in the new paradigm stays viable and upgradable with umbrals rather than the clunky system at the gypsum kiln. Any gear with GS of at least 700 can be upgraded with umbrals. The system now works slightly differently than umbrals in the past, as it is now a currency with a wallet cap of 1,000 and a weekly rate limit to earn. This will keep umbral's value from deteriorating over time, which was a problem we saw with the previous version of this system.
There will still be unique gear pieces with powerful and rare perks called "infixes." These will function similarly to how the unique perk on artifacts work.
There are no longer any perks that increase attributes. We felt these perks didn’t really result in a meaningful choice between two good alternatives, so we’ve decided to reclaim that slot for more interesting perks. All of the attribute points that used to come from these perks have been instead added into the native attribute point pool granted by normal leveling—and to make sure this is easier to manage, we’ve made Gear Set Storage loadouts now also save your current attribute loadout. The attribute perks on existing gear have been replaced with other perks of relatively low power, since players will keep the power the attribute perks used to yield.
We’ve done a complete sweep through our collection of perks and made some structural changes. Our goal is to make perk selection conditional and thoughtful, and to eliminate "must have" perks that simply raise the critical combat numbers like damage, stamina, and cooldown reduction without some kind of meaningful drawback. On that note, the hearty perk has been retired and we’ve reduced the cost of dodges, effectively giving the hearty perk functionality without the perk.
The Tower rises above the mists, a gothic fortress fusing ancient magic and engineering brilliance atop a mountain peak. Battle across three vertical layers of dark grandeur, from the commanding castle heights to the corrupted depths below. Jump pads and strategic pathways create constant warfare, while three capture points drive the action. Underground passages hide valuable mines and fearsome arenas, providing tactical options and game-changing resources. In this 20v20 battlefield, victory belongs to those who can master both the heights and depths of combat. As always, we have taken feedback and bug reports from the S9 preview event and made many improvements to the map thanks to your early playthroughs. Thanks again to our players for being so eager to play our new content early and report issues!
You now have full control over your gameplay HUD elements. Reposition, scale, even rotate any individual element on the HUD to your taste. Works for PC players and console players.
Join us for a weekend event featuring a game mode rules change for Capture the Flag!
During this period, a neutral flag will spawn in the center of the map a few minutes into the match.
Once the neutral flag is in play, it can be taken by either team and returned to their base to score points.
Flag point values will also differ during this event with team flag captures scoring more points than neutral flag captures.
Please participate and let us know what you think!
Healer role balancing has been added to PvP mode matchmaking for Arenas, CTF, and OPR! Previously we formed matches based on a minimum and maximum number of healers per team, which could lead to longer queue times and could still result in lopsided matches. With role balancing, we now compare the difference in healers per team and can form matches either with no healers at all or a guaranteed healer on each team (in the case of Arenas), or in the case of OPR and CTF, we will allow for a minimum of one healer per team with a max allowed difference of one healer between teams. These are the values we'll start with, but we'll be monitoring matches and may make changes based on what we are seeing in queue times and win rates.
New Features / Modified Systems
New perk system
We have created a new perks system where new items have different breakdowns of perks on them than what we previously had. Attributes have been removed from items and are now applied mainly through leveling and foods.
The attribute perk slot has either been swapped out for a standard perk or replaced by a unique Infix perk (perk that is tied to that item, and is similar to the unique perks on artifacts).
Set Bonuses
Set bonuses are a new type of perk that are activated when you have equipped the required number of items to activate the tier of the set bonus.
Most Set bonuses have benefits that are activated when 2 or 3 for the first tier, or 4 or 5 for the second tier number of items equipped from that set.
These combinations of set bonus tiers will allow for some creative exploration where players can equip two 5 tier sets at once, or two 4 sets and the first 2 item tier of another set, or three 3-tier sets, etc. We are excited to see the combinations that players can come up with.
Weapon Scaling
All weapons now have dual scaling but at varying amounts, with slight adjustments to scaling values for balance.
Scaling percent values are now represented by letter tiers (S,A,B,C,D,E,F) and the tier correlates to the power of scaling. For example, “S” tier scaling is from 91% and higher, “A” tier scaling is from 81% and higher, and so on. The default scaling for each tier is the middle point in them, so all “S” tier weapons will start out with their scaling at 95%. This will allow us to scale the weapon a bit within the range of that tier without having the tier change.
Healing from (Life staff, flail, and void gauntlet) will still only scale on focus.
Attributes
Currently, each attribute has diminishing returns on them making it so the more points you put into an attribute, the less powerful each point is. We have flattened this curve so that each point provides more power than before.
We have reduced the total amount of attributes players can obtain to make attributes matter a bit more, but have also increased the power of each attribute. This was done so that if you want to go all in on a damaging attribute, you will have to sacrifice some constitution to do so.
Attribute Threshold Bonuses have been updated to not be quite as powerful as they were before, we want the actual attribute points to matter, not just the nodes in each attribute.
Removed the 300 CON Attribute Bonus from attributes and pivoted over into being an infix perk on rings.
The 300 CON grit on basic attacks attribute bonus has been moved to be an infix perk on rings with a slight damage trade off added for balance. This ATB was arguably the most valuable attribute node but having it as an attribute node eliminated some of the choice in attributes.
New Heartrune - “Phantom Blades”
A new heartrune, Phantom Blades, is now available in the faction shop! This comes pre-upgraded with 3 options to choose from.
Cast forth a set of swirling blades that spin in a circle dealing ticks of 100% weapon damage to all targets within 4m of the blades. Lasts 7 seconds.
Perks:
Merciless Incision - Phantom Blades deal 20% increased damage to targets inflicted with a CC status effect (Stun, Root, Slow, Sluggish).
Achilles' Heel - Phantom Blades now slowly moves forward and inflicts Sluggish, preventing them from dodging for 2s or until they hit a target.
Freeing Blades - Each hit of Blades will reduce the duration of all limited duration CC status effects on you by 10%
Mobile Destruction - Phantom Blades are now attached to you. However, the radius is reduced to 1.5m and the damage is reduced to 70%.
Perks
Added the Hearty Ring perk functionality to all players. Players still have 100 Max Stamina, but dodge costs have been adjusted to allow the same amount of dodges as when the hearty perk was equipped. Reworked hearty on all existing items to be "Gambled Energy", which grants 2.5%-5% damage while stamina is not full.
Added new slottable variants of item perks and also adjusted some values and functionality for them.
All new slottable (offensive, defensive, and skill) and fixed perks will have the suffix of II at the end of it, to differentiate them from the older perks
Reworked the new version of weapon mastery II perks that had general cooldown reduction and pivoted the functionality to be something else. Also adjusted some of the functionality of a variety of other mastery perks to lean into more preferred functionality.
For weapon mastery older versions of the weapon mastery perks that had cooldown reduction, we have reduced their values to incentivize using the new slottable weapon mastery perks on new gear.
Performed a “stat squash” and reduced a lot of the values in the old perk system to reel in some of their values to allow for greater expansion of values via the new perks and allow for more creative and unique functionality and power to be added to the new infix perks and and set bonuses.
Gems
Adjusted conversion gems to no longer convert attributes but just convert damage types. We want to lean into utilizing attributes more strategically now and make special unique items in the future with strategic scaling in order to allow for more creative builds and better tuning options on builds.
Updated Runeglass gems to use the higher tier of the base gem the functionality is based off of and not the 2nd highest like they used to use.
Adjusted the value of the absorption gems as a part of a larger tuning pass where we are reeling in some of the more extreme values that can be stacked across a variety of areas.
Artifacts
Adjusted all the perks that are on all artifacts to fit into the new system. Pivoted artifacts to have the new version of perks to either be slottable or a fixed perk that can not be swapped out.
Removed the attribute portion of artifact perks. Outside of the +X to all attributes functionality on Attuned Leather Pants and Old Crown, that is still present to keep those artifacts unique.
Trinkets
Added base stats to trinkets similar to how weapons and armor have base stats on the items.
All amulets will have up to +5% max HP based on gear score
All rings will have up to +10% base damage based on gear score
All earrings will have up to 5% flat cooldown reduction based on gear score.
Balance Note
A lot of values tied to balance have been adjusted and with changes to so many systems there are far too many to note, so please re-examine the values across the board. Our intent with these changes is to create wider build variety, more interesting play between different builds, and overall create a more interesting meta.

Welcome to the Season 10 Dev Update. In this video the devs dive into Nighthaven, our largest and most vertical zone yet, unveil the new Isle of Night raid, introduce the replayable Catacombs dungeon mode, and walk through the endgame overhaul, set bonuses, and perk charms, all capped off with a packed Season Pass featuring four armor sets, cosmetics, and the return of a mount.
Nighthaven, long since whispered to exist, reveals itself like a full moon beyond a pale night cloud. I’ll tell you the tale of Nighthaven, as my Baba once told me every night before I lay my head to sleep.
The land is ruled by its domineering King with an ill-tempered fist. The populace and peasantry serve the Crown, gutted by both the unfair taxation and the horrors of the dimly lit woods which engulf it. Nighthaven’s currency is not just gold and wheat by the barrel, but nightmares and dreams and memories that fade to wisps. Charms, totems, and talismans guard the doorframes of every villager, patient for the relieving chime of a bell’s new day. For there are secrets, darker than the imagination, that lurk behind the corner of your eye.
The traveling troupe of the Grand Carnival leads a rebellion, stashed away in the deep recesses of the territory. Hidden from the aggressions of the ruling House and its lower court: House Varlaam, House Bathory, House Carmilla. These few oligarchs who command the rabble are just as vicious in their rage as they are in their gluttonous everyday excess. Servants of the castle-rich speak in hushed tones beyond cold steel gates and dark dungeons, willing to look past the atrocities committed in the dead of night for a few more coins, or a few more days of sanity, whichever is most needed at the time.
The capital of the realm, the King’s own castle, expands on the horizon as if a great wailing behemoth. Impossibly immense—a man-made mountain that grips the mind in its lavishness and enormity. A castle keep that swallows the horizon like the whale swallowed Jonah, but without the promise of God’s return or saving. Once the Castle has claimed you in its bowels, you are nothing more than another fixture, another book of memories lodged on a dusty shelf to never be remembered again. The King’s Castle is a fortress that is said to be as wide as it is tall, and burrows just as deep as its towers graze the moon.
And standing in it all, the great reminder: the Clocktower, a looming and ever-present monument to the truest of secrets, that eternity is not forever. Death comes for us all. Even in Aeternum.
Baba said there once was the promise of a nation now steeped in misery, and none can look further than the abandoned villages, farmyards, and animal pens of the smallfolk in the Manorlands. Their daily toil and the sweat of their brow feed this nation—yet the pigs, chickens, and cows are not the true livestock.
Deep in the Hinterland, a bounty amasses of perfect pumpkins and golden apple orchards. Left untended, these wild sprouts give way to wild things. The forests run red with persistent fall colors to the north, to Highmarch, and these perfectly splendid colors soon fade along the borders of cursed woods and tumbling sorrowthorn briars, thick enough to strangle the reindeer that still call this land their home. Wild and dangerous, the cursed woods are home to apocryphal beasts that walk on two legs like man, but are urged by a mammalian instinct of true predation.
Nighthaven is full of secrets, Baba says. So many secrets hidden beneath the surface like flesh-eating ticks hiding underneath your skin. For all its liminal shades, the crust of Nighthaven and the overworld are but fleeting, like ghostly dancers still stepping to music unheard.
But Baba said, Nighthaven is a carcass. And the worms and maggots below are the real Nighthaven. Endless miles of catacombs, caverns, caves, and crevasses are the permanent home of so many fresh and unsightly horrors. To step into the Underworld below Nighthaven is stepping into your own doom. If the risen dead, or the madness of ghosts, cannot claim you, then the eight-legged children of Uttu certainly shall.
But what saving grace is there to run from these terrors? These soul-wracking phobias? Baba says there is hope, if you cling to the Towers that dot the land. Rising above the darkness, as if built as a means to escape the thickness of dread below, you’ll spot dozens of safe places above the treeline. Like the jagged teeth of a rabid beast, the Towers of Nighthaven promise sanctuary if you can decipher their runed, magicked stones. These places are infused with the magic of the old ways, but they can betray you if you do not master your own mind and memory. Shadows of the past will rob you of your senses if you cannot withstand the torment of your own mind.
Baba also says there was once a group of people who tried, and failed, to cut and burn back the horrors of Nighthaven. Their shrill cries and religious texts and fervent dedication to their church were their sword, their shield, and their sanity. But after marinating in so much hatred and rage, they lost the latter, and became just as mindless and corrupt as the terrible things they swore would be eradicated. And now their story is just another red brushstroke on the canvas of Nighthaven, their angels fallen and their priests inflamed with an unconscious need to destroy.
Like all things, Baba says, all things in Nighthaven are to be feared. Fear is what keeps us alive. Fear is what keeps us moored to our own minds and not lost in the ocean of darkness, the moon our only loose connection to what is real and what is not. In Nighthaven, you cannot trust your own eyes or your own thoughts, but you can trust your own fear.

Every corner of Aeternum holds echoes of stories untold, moments of triumph, grief, mystery, and wonder. Season 10 brings those echoes to life through the original Nighthaven soundtrack composed by Brandon Campbell, Keegan Musser, Michael Finley, and Kyle Bailey.
The music of Nighthaven shapes our experience when we set foot on haunted roads, and when we find ourselves surrounded by light after a long night of shadows. With each track, the composers invite us into the heart of Nighthaven, allowing its spirit to speak in melody. Listen to the full soundtrack now.Start: Sep 23, 2025
End: Sep 30, 2025
High above the mists of Aeternum, a looming monument of stone, steel, and sorcery rises. Known as The Tower of Calomel, this gothic fortress fuses ancient magic with engineering brilliance. Once a seat of power and sanctuary, it now stands as a battlefield where 20 warriors on each side clash for dominance.
Outer Battlements – Long sightlines give ranged fighters dominance, but exposed walls leave them open to coordinated pushes and flanking fire.
The Inner Bailey – The heart of the battlefield, where elevation shifts and choke points turn every mid-range clash into a brawl for control.
The Undercroft – A labyrinth of tunnels hiding twin mines, resource nodes, a corrupted portal, and the fearsome Baroness—a high-risk, high-reward objective.
The Tower of Calomel brings verticality, corruption, and relentless conflict to Outpost Rush. Whether commanding from the battlements or carving through the shadowed tunnels, only those who master both the heights and the depths will claim victory.
With Season 10: Nighthaven, explore a realm hidden from Aeternum for generations. Uncover the fate of the Tear of Gaea, navigate treacherous alliances, and face threats born from darkness itself. Between a mysterious new zone, evolving endgame systems, and a 10-player raid, this season reshapes how you journey and endure.
The Nighthaven update will release on Monday, October 13 and will be free for all New World: Aeternum owners.
An ancient land rich with history, Nighthaven was largely cut off from the rest of Aeternum for lifetimes under the direction of its powerful king. Those few who did visit the haunting woods and mighty castles tell stories of mysterious figures, tall and lithe, engaged both in the politics of the court and in the dark hallways of the land’s many ruins. These inhabitants can be both charming and welcoming, or vicious and fearsome, depending on how they view those that they interact with. They rule at the behest of their king, carving out pieces of the land that they oversee on his behalf.
There are also stories of monstrous creatures that seem to exhibit the qualities of both man and beast. Although they have largely been known to stalk the dark forests and hills of Nighthaven, they haven recently become bolder, becoming a more ever-present threat.
Nighthaven is a land shrouded in mystery, where the dark holds sway over the light. Power lies deep in the catacombs and ruins of this land to those who are bold and brave enough to venture there. Discover the secrets hidden in the shadows of these ancient halls, and use them to confront the threats endangering not only the people of Nighthaven, but the whole of Aeternum as well.
After the events of Elysian Wilds, Morgaine left with the Tear of Gaea to sequester it somewhere safe, away from ambitious intent. However, it seems that her journey was met with ill fortune, and the Tear has gone missing. She is once more turning to the Soulwarden in an attempt to recover the Tear and keep the world safe from whatever nefarious intent may be planned for it.
Travel within the newly discovered land of Nighthaven, and engage the enigmatic and mysterious figures that call it home as you search for the divine artifact. Search through ageless ruins and the facades of opulence as you work to uncover the truth of what is happening in this isolated and reclusive land. But be wary, as trust is a commodity in short supply throughout Nighthaven.
Catacombs is a new game mode in which up to three players explore the depths of a procedurally generated dungeon, battling a wide variety of enemies and bosses, gaining unique mode-specific powerups, collecting cursed resources and currency, and racing to successfully exit and cleanse their treasures before time runs out.
While the difficulty of Catacombs is moderate at the start of a session, the challenge (and reward) is increased significantly each time a boss is defeated. To counter this, players are able to acquire in-mode power-ups that enhance their stats and abilities. With each boss defeated, players must decide between pushing further into the Catacombs for even greater rewards or safely making their exit before time run out. Failure to make a safe exit results in loss of the vast majority of the treasures collected, but only one player needs to safely exit to avoid this.
Isle of Night is a new 10-person endgame raid. The raid is set in a once magnificent kingdom whose inhabitants have now fallen Lost. Similar in length and format to Hive of Gorgons, this raid features three new bosses and multiple new enemy types, light puzzles, and set piece encounters. This raid will be some of the hardest content in the Season 10, demanding players gear-up and coordinate to succeed.
Nighthaven brings with it numerous game-wide changes to systems, progression, gearing, and rewards. Our goal with these changes is to form a connective tissue that motivates a variety of play in endgame activities, and enables players to customize their loadouts in ways they never could before to discover unique and powerful combinations of equipment.
Level Cap to 70, Gear Score Max To 800
Along with a level cap increase, gear score is raising from 725 to 800. PvP Modes which currently scale gear to 700, will now scale to 775.
New Gear Modding System - “Perk Charms”
Instead of 1 customizable gem socket, gear can now have up to four empty sockets into which players can install new perk modifiers called "charms." Charm sockets and charms themselves have three types: Defensive, Offensive, and Skill. These charms can be picked up fully refined, but more commonly will need to be crafted with rare materials which drop from endgame content.
Set Bonuses
We are introducing set bonuses into New World: Aeternum for the first time. These ultra rare sets of gear will be earned from pinnacle endgame content: Isle of Night Raid, Catacombs, and the PvP Track. We want to encourage players to mix and match these sets to achieve their desired build type, so they aren’t all-or-nothing.
Set bonuses come in two types: some bonuses activate at two equipped pieces and then get better at four equipped pieces (2/4), and some only activate at three pieces and then get better at five pieces (3/5). This means there are seven possible combinations of set bonus configurations: 2,2,2,2,2; 4,4,2; 5,5; 5,3,2; 4,3,3; 4,2,2,2,2; and 3,3,2,2. It’s up to you to decide the best combination of effects that best suits your unique playstyle.
Umbrals
To round out the long-term chase, we've ushered in a new generation of Umbral Shards. This means that all gear in the new paradigm stays viable, and upgradable with umbrals rather than the clunky system at the gypsum kiln. Any gear with Gear Score of at least 700 can be upgraded with Umbrals. The system now works slightly differently than umbrals in the past, as it is now a currency with a wallet cap of 1,000 and a weekly rate limit to earn. This will keep Umbral's value from deteriorating over time, which was a problem we saw with the previous version of this system.
Infix Perks
There will still be unique gear pieces with powerful and rare perks called "infixes." These will function similarly to how the unique perk on artifacts work.
Attribute Changes
There are no longer any perks, which increase attributes. We felt these perks didn’t really result in a meaningful choice between two good alternatives, so we’ve decided to reclaim that slot for more interesting perks. All of the attribute points that used to come from these perks has been instead added into the native attribute point pool granted by normal leveling—and to make sure this is easier to manage, we’ve made Gear Set Storage loadouts now also save your current Attribute loadout. The attribute perks on existing gear have been replaced with other perks of relatively low power, since players will keep the power the attribute perks used to yield.
Perk Design
We’ve done a complete sweep through our collection of perks and made some structural changes. Our goal is to make perk selection conditional and thoughtful, and to eliminate "must have" perks that simply raise the critical combat numbers like damage, stamina, and cooldown reduction without some kind of meaningful drawback.
"The Tower" rises above the mists, a gothic fortress fusing ancient magic and engineering brilliance atop a mountain peak. Battle across three vertical layers of dark grandeur, from the commanding castle heights to the corrupted depths below. Jump pads and strategic pathways create constant warfare, while three capture points drive the action. Underground passages hide valuable mines and fearsome arenas, providing tactical options and game-changing resources. In this 20v20 battlefield, victory belongs to those who can master both the heights and depths of combat.

In this update, players can look forward to three all-new Artifacts and three remastered ones, each designed to support new playstyles, fresh combinations, and deeper progression paths. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming.
Plagueherald Mask
Once used by a mysterious plague doctor of Aeternum, the Plagueherald Mask turns disease into a deadly weapon. Ideal for aggressive support builds or disruptors, it punishes enemies with stacking on top of each other, while requiring careful timing and positioning.
Plaguespreader: Abilities and light attacks inflict a stack of 3% Disease (max 10 stacks). You also gain 1% Disease per stack applied. At 10 stacks, heavy attacks consume all stacks to trigger a 6s cloud around the target, inflicting 20% Disease and 10% Weaken to nearby enemies (12s cooldown).

Yeet: +300% push distance and +10% base damage to all War Hammer knockbacks. Clear Out ignites the first target hit, turning them into a projectile that deals 100% weapon damage to enemies they pass through.

Parallax: +12% base damage to targets farther than 10m (applies to both weapons).
Crescent Wave: While above 50% health, heavy attacks cast a projectile forward dealing 150% weapon damage. Melee heavy attack damage is reduced by 50%. Each wave costs 20 mana.

Artifact Tuning Update
We’ve also made a minor but meaningful update to Trsna:
Consume now applies 25% life steal not just to knocked-down enemies, but also to stunned, rooted, and sluggish targets.
This broadens its usability across various crowd-control-based builds.
Season 9 introduces a new rhythm for how we approach Artifacts: fewer releases per season, with a tighter focus on impact, creativity, and player utility. By adding a mix of new items that open up fresh builds and reworking underused Artifacts, we’re aiming to keep gear diversity high while making sure older favorites don’t fall behind. We hope these additions give you more flexibility in how you play. As always, we’re looking forward to hearing what you think. We'll see you in Aeternum.
Aeternum is no stranger to darkness. But when the Corruption spreads beyond its boundaries, it calls for those forged in resistance and bound by purpose. The Corruption Hunter Bundle brings a full set of cosmetic gear and weapons, crafted for those who walk willingly into the heart of evil—and return untouched.
This bundle includes a complete armor set and matching weapon skins, designed to reflect the resolve and ritual behind the hunt.
Armor Set: Corruption Hunter
Corruption Hunter’s Helmet: Reinforced against the raging evil of the Corruption. Imbues confidence in its wearer.
Corruption Hunter’s Breastplate: A chestpiece forged for endurance and resilience. Built to stand firm against overwhelming darkness.
Corruption Hunter’s Gloves: Tightly bound for precision and grip, reinforced to steady the hands of those who carry the burden of the hunt.
Corruption Hunter’s Legguards: Balanced and resilient, these greaves are designed to move swiftly without compromise in the face of danger.
Corruption Hunter’s Shoes: Crafted to hold fast on cursed ground. Every step forward is a warning to the Corruption.
Weapon Skins
Corruption Hunter’s Severance: Longsword Skin: Veins of Corruption restrained by ritual and vengeance. Wielded not for glory, but to end what should not live.
Corruption Hunter’s Bulwark: Tower Shield Skin: Bound in ritual markings, this shield stands not only as protection, but as defiance against everything the Corruption brings.
Every plate, every blade—meant for one purpose: the end of Corruption. We’ll see you in Aeternum.
Season 9 introduces a 100-level reward track filled with premium cosmetics, powerful consumables, crafting materials, transmog tokens, emotes, and more. Players earn Season XP by completing Journey objectives, matches in Capture the Flag, Activity Card tasks, and bonus missions. These XP milestones unlock new rewards every level.
All players have access to the Free Track. Those who purchase the Premium Pass (available for 20,000 Marks of Fortune) will unlock the Premium Track, which includes exclusive items and major material bundles. If purchased after leveling up, Premium rewards are granted retroactively up to your current level.

We’ll see you in Aeternum!
Change is a constant in Aeternum — and as our world evolves, so must the structure that supports it. Today, we’re announcing a set of upcoming world merges aimed at improving player population, matchmaking, and overall activity across all regions.
Updated July 23 After thorough consideration of community feedback received about the planned world merges, the decision has been made to retain one world in the AP Southeast and SA East regions. The decision to merge worlds is made with consideration for many areas affected by player population such as queue times, and availability of opportunities to take part in multiplayer content. Our goal is to provide the best experience for players possible, and we understand concerns around latency and how important performance is to players. We thank you for all of your feedback, and for the enthusiasm from the New World: Aeternum communities in the AP Southeast and SA East regions.
Platform-exclusive Xbox worlds will be merged into regional cross-play environments. This will allow console players to enjoy all the challenges of Aeternum alongside a larger player base, creating more opportunities for adventures, alliances, and epic conflict.
One PlayStation-exclusive world will remain in the US East region for those who prefer platform-specific play. All other PlayStation worlds will be merged into that world, giving players the freedom to choose their path — whether it’s sticking with familiar territory or stepping into the broader cross-play world.
Here are the specific merges taking place:
To El Dorado (US West):
Aquarius & Pleiades (US West)
To Delos (AP Southeast)
Cerberus & Crux (AP Southeast)
To Devaloka (SA East)
Alkaid & Chertan (SA East)
To Aries (EU):
Iroko (EU)
To Pangea (US East):
Sundew (US East)
To Tumtum - Playstation Only (US East):
Nihal (SA East)
Taiyi (AP Southeast)
Mardi (EU)
Kronomo (US West)
To ensure a smooth transition, please note the following:
Tuesday, July 22
Brief server restart for retiring worlds
Character creation and transfers will be disabled on those worlds
Sunday, July 27
All Wars on retiring worlds will be canceled and refunded
Wednesday, July 30
Access to retiring worlds will be disabled
Characters and companies will be relocated to new home worlds
Territories on retiring worlds will be refunded to owning companies
Reimbursement begins for transfer tokens used in the last 14 days
Just a heads-up: inactive players from affected regions will be placed into either a crossplay world (for Xbox) or the dedicated PlayStation world on US East, depending on their platform.
We’ll continue to monitor world populations and performance closely after the merge, and we’re committed to staying adaptive as Aeternum continues to grow and evolve.
These world merges are about more than consolidation — they’re about crafting the best version of New World: Aeternum for every adventurer. Whether you’re gathering with friends for a dungeon run, waging war over territory, or forging your path through the unknown, we want your world to be dynamic, challenging, and brimming with life.
We’ll see you in Aeternum!
Will I lose my latent character if my platform is being merged?
Latent characters will merged to their new platforms and be able to choose a world.
Will my company be lost when my world is merged?
Companies will be retained after a merge.
What will happen to my items on the trading post?
Players from merged worlds should remove all items from the trading post to ensure they are not lost.
Would my houses be lost after my server is merged?
Housing and housing items will not be lost when merging.
What can I expect to happen on merge day?
For this round of merges, it will be necessary to put both source and destination worlds into maintenance. We thank you for your patience for this extended downtime.
What about my leaderboards position?
We scheduled this merge to happen as close to S9 start as possible to minimize impact on leaderboards. For non-platform specific merges the data will be retained but there may be a delay before it appears after the merge is completed. Characters from platform specific worlds will not retain their leaderboard information.
The sounds of summer rise once more across Aeternum. Villages echo with music, the scent of grilled delicacies drifts on the breeze, and travelers gather to celebrate a season of harmony, competition, and aquatic bounty. The Summer Medleyfaire is back — and with it, new rewards, and plenty of reasons to return to the stage (or shoreline).
Event Dates:
Start: July 29th, 2025
End: October 6, 2025

Medleyfaire-exclusive fishing hot spots are active across Aeternum.
Equip event bait to increase your chances of catching rare seasonal fish.
Turn in catches and complete challenges to earn Fame, Summer Tokens, and bragging rights among Aeternum’s angling elite.

Capture the Flag makes its full debut in Season 9. The mode launches with two maps, named by the community, Frozen Pass and Forbidden City—in a 50/50 rotation. Players can expect classic flag-capturing chaos with a New World: Aeternum twist.
Season 9 also sees the full release of the Temple map for 3v3 Arena combat. Prepare for tight corridors and tactical team fights in this ancient setting.
Anti-Grouping Curse: Stay too close to other players in free-for-all (FFA), and you’ll start accumulating a debuff that reduces outgoing damage and increases damage taken. Kill to reduce stacks. Die to reset.

The Castle map is a large, symmetrical arena built with high-risk objectives, vertical movement, and tactical creativity in mind.
We sat down with the development team to break down the map’s design, the unique gameplay mechanics it supports, and how player feedback has shaped its evolution since the Preview Weekend.
The Castle map was designed to offer a more expansive play space while still supporting the fast-paced, objective-based gameplay central to Capture the Flag.
Central High-Risk Path: A short, direct route runs through the middle of the map, providing the fastest path to the enemy flag—but also the most dangerous.
Elevated Side Lanes: Each side of the map includes raised platforms, obstacles, and multiple paths. These areas feature jump pads for creative movement and quick escapes.
Symmetry with Visual Distinction: While the map is symmetrical for competitive balance, one side has been visually marked with corruption effects to help players keep track of orientation during matches.
“We were inspired by the Dynasty art style of Ebonscale Reach,” the team shared. “We added corrupted elements to one side of the map to create clear visual differentiation and help with in-match navigation.”
The open midsection creates opportunities for long-range combat, while the sides offer cover and flanking routes—giving all weapon types room to shine.
Power-Up Placement and Use
Jump pads aren’t just for mobility—they play a strategic role in flag runs. Power-ups are placed along the perimeter of the map, encouraging players to take alternative routes that reward clever movement and timing. Following the feedback during the first Preview Weekend, several power-ups were adjusted for clarity and effectiveness:
Damage Power up: Empower duration increased to 30 seconds
Heal Power up: Healing now provides a flat 10,000 health
Speed Power up: Haste duration increased to 7 seconds
Challenges and Solutions
Designing a symmetrical map presented some early hurdles. Players often found it hard to identify which side they were on, especially in the heat of battle. Adding corrupted visuals to one side significantly improved orientation. Similarly, early testing revealed it was difficult to track flag carriers due to the map’s scale. Adding a visible beam on flag carriers solved that issue and helped focus team objectives.
The team has implemented flexible live-tuning tools that allow them to adjust key settings on the fly. These include:
Flag respawn and lockout durations
Player respawn delays
Power-up spawn timers
Scoring rules and win conditions
These tools will allow for responsive tuning during Season 9 and beyond.
The team is already testing additional variants and rule sets for future updates:
Neutral Flag Variant: In addition to the enemy flags, a neutral flag spawns in the center of the map, with both teams racing to capture and score.
First-to-Three Scoring: Alternate pacing and match lengths to suit different playstyles and competitive formats. Advanced Rulesets: Competitive-focused formats such as sudden death or a one-flag mode are possible future variants.
With new mechanics, improved balance, and live-tuning flexibility, Season 9 lays the groundwork for deeper competitive play and evolving variants in the months ahead. Whether you’re coordinating a team push, pulling off a last-second escape, or fine-tuning your loadout for the perfect flag run, this new mode brings fresh opportunities for strategy and skill.
Stay sharp, and we’ll see you on the battlefield.

Rep your Faction, vie for dominance in Expeditions, and influence the future of Aeternum. How far will you go for your Faction? Faction Fest is a celebration of all things Factions. From June 27 through June 29, the Marauders, Syndicate, and Covenant will compete to finish the most daily objectives for event-specific rewards. Due to the PvE nature of Expeditions, this is mainly a cooperative event. All players will receive rewards regardless of their allegiance. The winning Faction will also influence the event narrative. Support your favorite to immortalize the next chapter of their story.
There’s no need to sign up for Faction Fest. Simply join a Faction and complete Expeditions. Your progress will automatically count toward the event.
Each day will feature a new daily objective tied to Expeditions. These objectives will be revealed starting on June 27 via the Faction Fest event page.
Every time you complete an objective, your Faction’s score will increase. Objectives can be completed multiple times for additional points.
After each day, all participants will earn Titles, such as Explorer and Scout. That day’s winning Faction will also be announced. An overall Faction Fest winner will be determined based on the total number of objective completions across all 3 days.
There will be a Weapon Mastery XP bonus on day 3 for everyone to rally toward their final goals. All players will receive a complete armor set themed after the winning Faction.
Unlocked rewards will be distributed to all participants in-game following the event.
To round off the festivities, a discounted, commemorative Faction Fest Housing Item will be available through the in-game Store. Alongside the event, check out the Faction Store and earn even more desirable Mutated Expedition loot as part of the Season 8 rewards refresh.
All players, regardless of World, will be grouped into one of three global teams based on their Faction choice: Covenant, Marauders, or Syndicate. While playing Expeditions, players will likely team up with members from different Factions. That means all players in the same Expedition party, regardless of Faction, will contribute to the daily objective. However, each Faction will have their own individual progress. More details — including the complete FAQ, Faction score updates, and daily objectives — are available now on the official event page
Here are the motives and relationships behind each Faction’s involvement. Play your part to help determine what happens next.
The Covenant: On a Journey for Divine Truth
The Covenant see Aeternum differently than most, believing it to be the home of gods – a place anyone should feel privileged to walk upon. Through their investigations, members of the Covenant seek to learn more about the divine nature of the island and what the place of mortals might be there. They preach that coming to Aeternum is no accident, and that underneath the strange nature of the island lies a grand design, a plan that each farmer, merchant, and adventurer all have a part to play in. In order to inspire faith in their members and the people of the island, the Covenant comb the depths of Aeternum in search of truth. Some of the most dangerous places in Aeternum – known as the Expeditions – may harbor secrets that the Covenant can use to further their search for revelation. By tapping the skills of their bravest adventurers, the Covenant can gain access to these hidden truths by interpreting the writings, the artifacts, and overcoming the challenges within. To the Covenant, members of the Syndicate represent an active impediment to their quest for higher understanding, as their interpretations of Aeternum’s many relics and writings represent something akin to heresy. And the Marauders, who profess to be looking out for others, have no regard for the damage they do when parading through ancient, sacred halls. In the hearts of the Covenant, only they have the will and temperament to uncover and deliver the messages hidden in the ancient ruins of Aeternum.
The Marauders: Freedom for All
Aeternum is a place of wonders, a place where fantasy and reality meet, and a place of riches untold. It is also home to dangers unlike any that humans have ever seen, as if all the world’s myths sprang to life at once. While many of Aeternum’s people are just trying to etch out a living on the island, others take up arms and harness the power of the island to achieve their goals. The Marauders took that philosophy and made and ethos from it – using their own strength and prowess to create a better world for all. To them, the strong must stand to protect the weak, and ensure that every person has a chance for freedom on the island. To the Marauders, there is no place on Aeternum to better test their resolve than in the Expeditions, where the most savage of Aeternum’s dangers lurk. There they can prove their strength and martial might, and rally others to their cause – a world ruled by the strongest and most fit among the people. The Covenant relies on platitudes and the promise of faith, which to the Marauders, represents little more than wishful thinking. On the other hand, the Syndicate deals in secrets and arbitrates who is able to access its knowledge, thus making everything they do inherently untrustworthy. Only the Marauders fight for the people themselves, and works to ensure that everyone is able to live free from the dangers that fill the hidden places of Aeternum.
The Syndicate: All Knowledge is Power
Although the age of Aeternum is unknown to scholars, the island is indisputably ancient, and houses knowledge long forgotten, or even never revealed, in the old world. The Syndicate knows that the power of these hidden secrets is vast, potentially unlocking the reality about who humans are and the nature of reality itself. Because of this, the Syndicate prizes that knowledge over everything else, looking to harness the power known to ancient civilizations on Aeternum. They see this as a boon not just for the members of the Syndicate, but to all humanity, both on the island and back in the old world. If they can put that power in the hands of mortals, there would be no limit to what people could potentially accomplish. The Syndicate knows that the civilizations of the island were built upon one another in many cases, meaning that many of the apocrypha that they search for would be hidden in some of the most dangerous places on the island, the Expeditions. If their members can amass the relics and writings once thought lost to time, the Syndicate could make vast leaps in their understanding of ancient teachings. The Marauders and their might-makes-right stance leaves little room for the expansion of knowledge and suppresses the voice of those on the fringes of discovery, which makes them dangerous to a civilized order. The Covenant, on the other hand, actively targets those with dissenting opinions, and views everything through a lens of faith and holy ordination, meaning that their perception is skewed from the very start. The Syndicate believes that they alone have the temperament and presence of mind to properly grasp the island’s secrets and their implications for humanity.

Get ready to test your skill, coordination, and adaptability in the newest 3v3 Arena battleground coming to New World: Aeternum. This all-new map — the largest Arena yet — is entering the fight with a limited-time Preview Weekend from June 17 through June 23, ahead of its full integration in Season 9. Here’s everything you need to know before stepping into the ring.
While the name of the map will ultimately be voted on by the community, the location itself is already steeped in mystery. Deep within Aeternum, Syndicate explorers have uncovered an ancient site, its purpose long forgotten and its builders unknown. Though its weathered stonework suggests ties to early civilizations, the effigies and motifs hint at something far more primal — a place where animals or spirits were once worshiped, or perhaps feared.
That power hasn’t faded. It lingers — drawing adventurers who seek to understand it, and fighters who would claim it through combat.
This new map isn’t just visually distinct. It was designed in response to player feedback, offering a larger battlefield that creates meaningful strategic shifts between long-range and close-quarters combat. It’s not just a new arena — it’s a new way to play.
Largest 3v3 Map Yet: Nearly 50% larger than existing Arena maps, with more elevation, cover, and flanking paths.
Dynamic Combat Phases: The map favors ranged combat early on, but forcing players into melee engagements quickly.
Environmental Landmarks: Ancient statues, waterfalls, and weathered ruins provide natural callouts and add to the tactical depth.
“We wanted this to feel like a discovered place, not a constructed one. Something ancient, powerful, and reactive—visually and mechanically.” — Map Design Team
The map’s scale and design create a distinct flow that pushes players to adapt:
Team Composition: Ranged builds shine early, but melee dominance becomes critical once the circle tightens.
Mobility & Flexibility: Static strategies won’t cut it. Positioning, cover usage, and role switching are key to staying alive.
Cover Density: Sightlines are long at first but rapidly break down into close-range skirmishes, creating high-tension transition moments.
Preview Availability: From June 17–23, this will be the only map in the 3v3 Arena queue.
Permanent Rotation: The map joins the standard Arena rotation in Season 9.
Twitch Drops: Earn the Hearty Twitch Cache during the preview week by watching 6 cumulative hours of New World: Aeternum on Twitch to earn your reward.
Inspired by the Monarch’s Bluffs — a beautiful, underutilized style — this arena mixes temple ruins with organic natural elements, creating a lush-yet-foreboding battlefield. Animal motifs and spirit-worship themes are woven into the design, reinforcing the idea that this place was not simply made for combat, but for reverence… or sacrifice.
“Concept art helped us lean deeper into the natural elements—juxtaposing ruin and overgrowth in a way that feels unique in the Arena ecosystem.” — Map Design Team
Biggest Challenge: Balancing size and intensity. Throughout each match, the arena seamlessly flows from long range combat to more close range encounters.
Player Feedback: Strong community desire for more variety, more scale, and better role balance helped shape every decision — from layout to pacing.
Competitive Expectations: This map rewards versatility and forces adaptation. Expect meta shifts favoring hybrid builds and mobile team comps.
More Maps Coming?: Not immediately, but we have concepts for maps in the pipeline if demand stays strong.
Pro Tip: Don’t anchor to one position. The fight will come to you — fast. Master transition points and use cover creatively to outlast and outmaneuver.
This isn’t just another arena — it’s a full evolution of the 3v3 experience. Watch for callouts to emerge from the community, theorycraft new comps with your squad, and sharpen your skills across all ranges.
We’ll see you in the ring — if you can survive it.
