Today’s update is a big deal; the game is getting its largest content expansion yet. It’s been a while since we saw the previous update, but the amount of new content here seems promising.

There are also technical improvements in the background, so there’s a long list for you to check. Here are the patch notes from the New World Season 2 update.
Patch Notes for the New World Season 2 Update
Seasonal Story
One of the most enduring mysteries of Brimstone Sands is the massive creature known as the Devourer.

Join the Silver Crows and Rima the bard to uncover the secrets of the order and their history with the creature they call Shah Neshen.

Summon a sandwurm to burst from the ground and damage anything within its path.
PvP Reward Track Update
The PvP Reward Track has been updated with a variety of new rewards and increased predictability.
Raid Groups
Create a raid group of up to 20 players to communicate, coordinate, and share spoils across large-scale, open-world activities.
Cross World Outpost Rush
Outpost Rush will soon be playable across any world within the same region. Gain control of fortifications and resources in this 20v20 game mode for max-level players.
Outpost Rush Adjustments
Alongside cross world functionality, Outpost Rush will also receive a refresh to make gameplay even more engaging. Updates include reduced wait times, an increased focus on objectives, and increased damage from siege weapons.
First Light Retraction
First Light has fallen to the might of Artemis and her Angry Earth horde! The Settlement, Fort, and Trading Post in First Light are now closed. A wall of thorns has erupted along the border, barring all access into the territory until further notice.
All Housing related items will return to Storage and can be found under the “Old First Light” tab in any Storage shed. All Trading Post orders in First Light will eventually expire, but no new orders can be made in the territory. Companies controlling First Light at the time of Retraction will be refunded for their losses. First Light’s Faction Control Point (FCP) buff has been moved to Weaver’s Fen, and Weaver’s FCP buff has been discontinued for now.
We have big plans for the territory. This is only the first step. Stay tuned for more news about the future of “Old First Light.”
New 3v3 Arenas Map
Battle other players in an all-new Gladiator style 3v3 Arenas map.
We are only seeing the new playable game content on this list; there are also background changes and minor improvements, but the developers didn’t share them. It’s also worth reminding you that the New World Season 2 update could have a big download size, so make sure you start downloading asap.
New World is available on PC.
