Greetings, Adventurers!

Aeternum is an ever-evolving world, and as such, we continue our efforts in providing our players with an assortment of ongoing new features, content, and changes. We are approaching the release of Rise of the Angry Earth and would like to once again invite you all to participate in this iteration of our Public Test Realm (PTR)!

Read on for this PTR's features and FAQ. The full list of release notes can be found on our website.

The Public Test Realm (PTR) is a limited-availability server-set that grants an early look at upcoming features. These preview builds are snapshots of upcoming major releases and are not final versions — you may encounter bugs, crashes, missing text, or other issues. Between our internal testing efforts and your reports, we hope to catch and resolve all serious issues before they reach the live servers. Hundreds of changes have already been made — with more to come — and the full release notes will be shared on release day. However, not every bug or feedback piece will be actioned on before release — some changes need time to be investigated further, and may arrive in a subsequent patch or two.

To help with the feedback process, all newly created PTR characters will have the opportunity to instantly level to select level-ranges outfitted with appropriate gear and items.

The PTR will officially open tomorrow, September 12, at 8AM PT (3PM UTC) and run until 8AM PT (3PM UTC) on September 18. If you encounter a bug, exploit, or have suggestions to improve a feature or piece of content, we’d love to hear your feedback on our Discord (you can also utilize our in-game feedback tool). We will do our best to address as much of your feedback as possible before the content update makes its way to our live servers. Your participation will help us to deliver awesome content and updates in the future!

During this iteration of the PTR, we look forward to hearing your playtest feedback on the following changes:

• Elysian Wilds Zone
  
• Rise of the Angry Earth Main Story Quest
  
• Edengrove and Great Cleave Main Story Quest Revamp
  
• The Savage Divide Expedition
  
• Horse Mounts
  
• Artifacts
  
• Flail
  
• Weapon/Perk changes
  
• Primal Fury Heartrune
  
• Trade Skill and Gear Score changes
  
• Influence Race
  
• Season 3 Rewards Track

Check out our official announcement for detailed breakdowns of what to expect.

This special preview client will be made available for download through the stand-alone Steam application, “New World Public Test Realm” (which should already be in your Steam library if you own the main game). When the test period is complete and the main New World game is updated with the previewed content, the PTR world will shut down and may be wiped clean. You will continue to see the New World PTR application in your Steam library, but there will not be an active server until the next time we announce a public test.

Upon character creation on the PTR, players will be given multiple caches of special armor and weapons. Each cache has a designation based upon a general build and a main attribute: CON, DEX, INT, FOC, and STR.

To help manage the sudden onset of new items, do not open all provided caches at once, or you’ll risk becoming encumbered! Instead, equip all provided bags and then follow-up with opening each cache deliberately. Any undesired caches can be dropped or deposited into your personal settlement storage.

Everyone with a copy of New World will be automatically granted access to the secondary PTR app. The PTR is not compatible with the live game, so you will need to download a separate client (and have the hard drive space required to support it). From there, we will have special worlds available within supported regions. Not all regions will initially be supported. Access is on a first come, first served basis. There may be queues.

Unfortunately, no. These are separate ecosystems, so at this time it is not possible. However, to make testing easier, we will occasionally provide our play-testers with special accommodations such as instant levels, special gear, etc.

Preview game builds on the PTR are finished with their core development and are in their final phase of testing and bug fixing. Our main focus at this phase is improving quality, although we will appreciate any feedback you have to share.

Our policies and Code of Conduct cover the PTR, and in-game moderation will continue to be supported. Unfortunately, due to the temporary and potentially unstable nature of the PTR, general Customer Service assistance through both Live Chat and through the Support Website will not be available.

Don’t worry, no offense taken. Players can manage visibility of the New World Public Test Realm Steam Library entry. Opening up the game options (right-click > Manage) offers the “Hide Game” function.

Check out our website for the full list of changes. Thanks for your support and we'll see you in Aeternum!

Fixed "Can't down beam" bug.

NOTE: This is an alpha build of chapter 15. There are some incomplete parts (see "TODO" section for details). Changes are still in progress so if you want to wait for the final release chapter 15 release, do so. Otherwise, have fun and leave feedback if you want!

In Warlord chapter 15, MC attacks the Imperial Capital

Changes:

• Chapter 15
  
• New Gallery (see notes)
  
• Replaced some chapter 14 images with hybrid renders

• Chaos -only route sexy animations are still cooking.
  
• Music and sound
  
• Editing rounds 2 and 3
  
• Some dialog for Cass, Alex and Ciel is missing from Frigate scene.

Adding new vehicles, namely the classic Off-road!





Soon will be more cars, stay tuned.

Big news, commanders! You’re already acquainted with the Protectorate and the Grell, but we’re ready to unveil the third faction in ZeroSpace. Meet the Xol.



For the full scoop, head over to our friends at Team Liquid, where we’ve authored an article with a ton of in-depth info on the Xol, including lore, gameplay, theory, unit design, and more!

Here’s our design consultant, Grant, with the lowdown in video form:



Lore background:
"The Xol started as an advanced general “AI”, created for the purpose of serving their Masters, who eventually abandoned them. Often misunderstood as villainous beings, they have been on a long quest of self-discovery, starting by embodying their once trapped minds into the physical realm, allowing them to learn through experience and pursue their new found ambitions."

Gameplay overview:
"The Xol take to embodiment through polymeric-metals, and this malleability gives them the ability to merge with one another into completely different units to increase their power level and strategically changing their identity and utility.

This flexibility makes the Xol in ZeroSpace a highly adaptable faction. With just a small pool of base units, they’ll be able to create complex and specialized armies in turn. Tentatively, Xol units will also have the ability to 'split' and assume their former identities when tactically called for."

Be sure the visit the TL article for the in-depth dive, and toss Grant a like & subscribe on his YouTube.

We’ve got 7 days left in our Kickstarter, and we’re not done revealing more details about ZeroSpace, (including another playable faction reveal!) — be sure to spread the news far and wide!
