MMORPG's s confirms on Reddit that downtime for New World's 1.1 update starts at 5am PT / 8am ET / 1pm GMT today (November 18) and is expected to last four hours.
Amazon Games started testing features for the update last week on the New World Void Gauntlet guide for details on the skill tree and best build.
You'll also find a new batch of foes raiding southeastern Aeternum. A Gaul leads the Varangians with a reputation for "brutality and a twisted sense of humour". They're here to seek magical artefacts and arcane lore – no, not the League of Legends Netflix show – left behind by the Crimson Sorcerer to aid Lord Commander Attalus in his conquests.
You'll stumble across several types of Varangian foe: scouts, knights, and archers. Head to Western Everfall to chat with Abigail Rose if you want to take on a few new missions to learn more about the new rabble of trouble makers.
Amazon Games has also made considerable changes to the world experience, combat, and economy. You can find the complete set of patch notes here.
The new update follows a recent wave of bans against those caught item duping in New World. This month, the developers have New World's economy being switched off again.
