Explore a cursed island plagued by mystery when New World: Aeternum<\/a><\/strong><\/em> comes to Xbox Series X|S on October 15. In search of rumored riches on the eternal isle of Aeternum, you shipwreck and are plunged into the depths of an immortal spiral. Its strange inhabitants pulled in by the winds of opportunity, or so you thought. <\/p>\n

Learn the ways of the island\u2019s increasingly savage, supernatural cycle and forge your story to uncover the truth lurking behind Aeternum\u2019s perpetual conflicts in this thrilling action-RPG set during the twilight of the Age of Exploration.<\/p>\n

Pursue Your Ambition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Conflict and bizarre happenings in Aeternum date back further than anyone can remember. But a loss of memory is only one of the many fates worse than death that you\u2019ll encounter throughout your travels. Some give into the seductive whispers of power and turn into a mindless Corrupted, while others lose their sense of purpose and become a soulless Lost. Many even go mad after recovering from death after death.<\/p>\n

Isabella is an intrepid explorer that ventured to the island in pursuit of Azoth, the source of magic in Aeternum. Possessed by the insatiable evil of the Corrupted, she now creeps ever closer to spreading the corruption\u2019s ghastly influence beyond Aeternum. The coastal storms have grown worse, countless adventurers wash ashore daily, and an ominous presence lurks around every village. To stop her, you\u2019ll need to successfully navigate the island\u2019s restless terrain as well as different adversaries.<\/p>\n

Forge Your Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your curious voyage starts with character creation. That customization then extends to outfits, weapons, tools, mounts, camp skins, and emotes. Solve every mystery surrounding Aeternum solo or with friends for a completely different experience. There are also Trade Skills like Cooking, Fishing, Musical Instruments, Crafting, and many more that grant various bonuses and further immerse you in your favorite aspects of the game. Need some extra coin for a house? Put on a musical performance and gather tips at the nearest settlement. Want more coin for your Company to buy matching Flail skins? Create your own furniture and sell it.<\/p>\n

Companies are organized groups of adventurers that can team up for both competitive and cooperative activities. To join another player\u2019s Company, you\u2019ll first have to be in the same Faction. Early on, you\u2019ll have the choice to join either the Marauders, the Syndicate, or the Covenant. All three Factions have unique values, colors, and philosophies, complete with their own quests and schemes. Maybe you\u2019ll join the Marauders because you love the color green, the Syndicate because you share their passion for knowledge, or the Covenant because your friends did. This is your story, so there\u2019s never a wrong choice.<\/p>\n

Faction members can help you complete quests and fend off danger throughout Aeternum. Your fellow members might gift you gear for easier progression, take a few swings at powerful enemies, or revive you in chance encounters while traveling to their next destination. Lend a hand to help your Faction thrive.<\/p>\n

Carve Your Destiny<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aeternum constantly changes at the hands of those in power. Whether you fight the Corrupted, the Lost, or another Faction, you can overcome any foe after stumbling across a mysterious box in your ship\u2019s wreckage. To better ease you into the unique timing and positioning of every weapon, you\u2019ll pick a character archetype at the start of your adventure. Each of the seven character archetypes includes two weapons and a few initial Trade Skill boosts, plus multiple skill trees with customizable abilities. Mix and match different options until you find the perfect combination for your playstyle:<\/p>\n
