New World‘s 1.4.4 update is set to go live in just a few short hours. This week’s update isn’t a very large one, but it does add some improvements that fans should be happy about. Most notably, developer Amazon Games will open up a batch of names that were previously unavailable, as they were held by now-deactivated accounts. Beyond that, players can also look forward to a large number of bug fixes, which will hopefully make for a more enjoyable experience. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:ย
