The closed beta runs until 2 August and is open to players who pre-ordered the game, though those who haven’t can try their luck by signing up for the chance to take part. Participants will be able to explore a portion of Aeternum - a “stunning diverse and natural” fictional island that’s set during “the twilight of the Age of Exploration” - plus partake in both PvE and PvP gameplay.
Here are the New World game modes that players can experience during the beta:​​​​​​

  • Expeditions - 5-player instanced dungeons that take players into the farthest corners and deepest depths of Aeternum, where they’ll face deadly foes and uncover truths about the island.
  • War - Epic siege warfare on a massive scale, with up to 100 players on the battlefield at once. The outcome of each war determines which company controls contested territory or settlements - and the resources they contain.
  • Outpost Rush - Teams of 20 players from two competing factions fight for control of fortifications and resources in this max-level instanced game mode that combines PvE and PvP play.
  • Invasions -  Twisted armies of Aeternum muster their forces to assault player-controlled territory, and groups of 50 max-level players rally together to fight off waves of monsters.

New World’s combat is said to be “skill-based and visceral,” with position, timing and aim all playing a key role. It also features a “classless” progression system, in which combat style is determined by the type of weapon being used by the player.

Users will also have access to a “deep” crafting system that allows them to “explore New World in their own way – from becoming the best blacksmith on the server to making a name as a fierce warrior.”

The New World release date is 31 August, 2021 exclusively for PC.
