Press release -
New World’s First Expansion – Rise of the Angry Earth – Is Available Now
Today, Amazon Games officially launched New World: Rise of the Angry Earth, the first paid expansion for the open world role-playing game. Coinciding with the game’s second anniversary, New World: Rise of the Angry Earthintroduces mounts, progression and increased level cap to 65, new gear rarity, weapon, a transformed Zone, a new end-game Expedition, Heartrune ability, and more.
In Rise of the Angry Earth, the southeastern tip of Aeternum, formerly known as First Light, has fallen. Once a welcoming place for newcomers to Aeternum, the fields have been ravaged by the fury of Artemis and the Angry Earth. No one is certain what has become of the people and villages that once populated the area, and a deadly barrier has kept all but the most intrepid from attempting to find out. This abundance of earthly powers has awakened the mighty Beast Lords, a new possible adversary facing the people of Aeternum, but with them also comes a boon - the secret to taming and riding animals.
New World: Rise of the Angry Earth new content and features include:
- Mounts - Players can summon and master horses, dire wolves, lions for faster traversal across Aeternum.
