Season 7 of New World: Aeternum - Season of Conquerors is set to launch on January 21st. Here’s a detailed look at what’s coming in this exciting new season:
New Seasonal World
A fresh start is coming with Season 7, introducing the new Seasonal World concept. This first Seasonal World is focused on PvP, meaning that starting at level 15, players will be flagged for PvP in every situation. This world will feature new resources and gear with unique perks, some of which are hinted to be more powerful than artifacts.
Character Transfer
At the end of the season, Seasonal Worlds will end, but players can transfer their characters to a permanent world of their choice. This ensures that the time and effort invested in the Seasonal World are not wasted. However, it remains to be seen what happens to the new resources and powerful perks when characters are transferred.
New OPR Map: Coral Divide
A new Outpost Rush (OPR) map called Coral Divide is coming soon. Players can get a sneak peek of this map during a special preview weekend, which will be announced later in the season.
M3 Expedition Upgrades
Expedition upgrades have been explored further, making the rewards for M3s more worthwhile. Players can now use one gear loadout across all M3s, simplifying the PvE experience and reducing the need to spend gold on different expeditions each week.
Better Loot
There will be upgraded rewards with better loot in M3s. While specific details are still forthcoming, these upgrades are expected to enhance the overall PvE experience.
Bug Fixes
Several bug fixes for expeditions, including AI movement improvements, are also part of the update.
New Artifacts
Seven new artifacts with unique abilities are being introduced:
• Void Gauntlet: Heals 100% more health and deals 50% more damage with Essence Rupture.
• Life Staff: Grants -30% damage absorption with Light Touch after casting a Life Staff ability.
• Ice Gauntlet: Inflicts Frost Burn by breaking Entomb, slowing enemies and dealing damage over time.
• Fire Staff: Sacrifices damage for increased burn effects, dealing 15% more burn damage over 5 seconds.
• Bow: Deals 15% more damage to poisoned enemies.
• Rapier: Applies stacking burn effects with heavy melee attacks.

• Musket: Causes enemies to bleed on headshot.
Upcoming Events
Several in-game events are coming, which will be new to console players. Players can find guides on these events on YouTube.
Season Pass Rewards
The season pass will include new tool skins, weapon skins, armor skins, emotes, transmog tokens, and resources. The free track will feature the Life Staff and Ice Gauntlet artifacts, while the premium track will offer additional skins and items.
