The update is set to go live on April 2nd, and downtime will begin at 5AM PT / 8AM ET/ 12PM UTC, with an expected two hours until the big update goes live. The team initially pushed back the date for the new season in order to follow up on feedback received on the PTR and make some adjustments ahead of a new date. Along with the solid launch details, the recent announcement of everything waiting to be earned on the season pass reward tracks, there are also full update notes to peruse and get ready for the next season in Aeternum.
The update will bring the new Winter Rune Forge seasonal trial, which challenges teams to work together to not only defeat enemies, including an Ancient Ice Guardian, but to solve puzzles to progress along the way.
New World’s season will also include updates to Cooking, with the overall item reassessment impacting foods and recipes first, and some technical updates, including finally adding controller support.
