The upcoming Heart of Madness update has been detailed by Amazon Games, as well as a roadmap of content coming to the game in 2022.

Fans can see the game’s upcoming Heart of Madness expansion as well as a 2022 roadmap in a recent New World developer update video. Players can join an online community of adventurers and explore the ever-expanding world of Aeternum Island in Amazon Games’ massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The Heart of Madness update for New World was announced earlier this month, and it will include a new storyline, a new weapon, a new expedition, and more.

New World was praised when it first launched in September 2021 for its intense real-time combat, unique fantasy world, and realistic MMORPG systems. Players can explore and colonize Aeternum Island, a fantasy land inspired by the Americas in the seventeenth century, while completing various quests. New World is a particularly immersive experience thanks to real-time combat and a simulated economy, but the game’s playerbase dwindled over time due to a variety of technical issues and design flaws. These flaws infuriated gamers, prompting a petition from New World players requesting that developers stream themselves playing the unbalanced content they created.

A New World update video has been released on YouTube by Amazon Games, giving players an in-depth look into the MMORPG’s future. The video delves into the upcoming Heart of Madness update, which will introduce the visually stunning Tempest’s Heart expedition as well as the Blunderbuss, a unique strength-based ranged weapon. The summer will bring a new expedition and event, while the autumn will bring a brand-new territory, expedition, weapon, and event, according to a 2022 New World roadmap. The extensive March developer update also covers weapon balance changes, social Twitch events, and new player support tools.

Despite some negative feedback following the launch of New World, Amazon Games appears committed to improving the fantasy MMORPG experience. Many fans’ concerns were addressed in a February New World update, with the developer promising to reduce player friction by implementing quality-of-life changes to the game. The in-game economy has been boosted, player movement has been improved, and the cost of fast travel has been reduced. These changes, when combined with the March Heart of Madness update, should help New World rebuild its player base.

New World offers players a unique and immersive world to explore, but the project was hampered by a number of issues. The Heart of Madness expansion, which will be released in 2022 and will include a new expedition and a new weapon, among other exciting additions, looks to breathe new life into Amazon Games’ MMORPG.
