04/12/2022 05:54 pm EDT

A new update is coming to New World this week, and it will see the addition of a mini-event called Rabbit's Revenge. Over the next two weeks, players can expect to see corrupted rabbits throughout Aeternum. Players will receive special rewards for hunting these rabbits, and they can also expect to see some new bug fixes as a result of today's update. However, first players will have to deal with a little downtime; New World maintenance is set to begin today at 11 p.m. PT, and will last for approximately 2.5 hours. Full patch notes from the game's official website can be found below:

WORLD EXPERIENCE

Rabbits' Revenge Mini-Event

• Corruption has possessed rabbits all over Aeternum. For a planned duration of 2 weeks, players can hunt them down for special rewards such as:

  • Defiled Rabbit's Foot, an enchanted consumable that grants players extra luck for 40 minutes when used. The strength of its effect scales with player level, and players can collect up to 5 per day.

  • Diamond Gypsum, which can be used to increase expertise for a type of gear of the player's choosing. Players can collect up to 3 per day.

  • Defiled Storage Chest of the Hare, an incredible rare drop which provides superior storage capacity and an intriguing Corruption visual effect for the player's home. Limit 1 per player.

• Earthly Hidden Stashes will temporarily be on hiatus while Corrupted rabbits are in season, but will return once the event concludes.

Quests

• Disabled previous versions of the "Saboteur" and "Master of the Tempest" quests to allow completion via the new "Solo" alternative. Players that have either old quest versions pending in their Journal will have to re-obtain the associated expedition quest, but will now be able to take the alternative objective if desired.

Expeditions – Tempest's Heart

• Fixed several spots in both Isabella and Neishatun's boss arenas where players could intentionally stand or go prone and avoid aggro or attacks.

• Fixed an issue where Neishatun could become unresponsive during his encounter.

• Added additional measures to prevent players from re-entering a blocked-off encounter arena.

Exploration

• Fixed an issue that caused high-level elemental plants from dropping correct resources when gathered.

Over this past weekend, Steam users were given the opportunity to check out New World for free. The promotion was meant as a way to introduce new players to the game, and while it has now come to an end, New World is still available at a 40% discount, so those that have been on the fence about trying out the MMO have the perfect opportunity to do so! Readers can find out more about that discount right here, and the rest of our coverage of the PC game can be found right here.
