New World’s Season of the Guardian has an updated launch date – April 2nd. The new season was previously delayed for additional work. Amazon is also merging some servers this week, ahead of the next big update.
After delaying the new season earlier this month for some additional work following feedback and data from the PTR, Season of the Guardian will now go live on Tuesday, April 2nd. The team thanked everyone for their patience while they brought the update under development and promised that we’ll see full release notes by the end of this week.
Asgard and Canis in EU will both merge into Aaru, Bari and Abaton will both merge into Nysa, while Nyx merges into Kronos. In US-East, Castle of Steel will merge into Valhalla, and Octans will merge into Maramma. The merges will happen this week, following some downtime held on Friday to prepare the affected servers, disable transfers, cancel Wars and refund players. After that housekeeping on Friday, the merges will happen on Wednesday, March 27th.
Season of the Guardian is set to bring a completely overhauled combat and animation system, via what they call Slayer Script.
