Players can now “start their personal PvP quest for rewards” in New World’s newest mode, Arenas.
Arenas come as part of the MMO’s latest update, which also ushers in expedition mutators, a Varangian Knights quest chain – where you can “continue the story of the Varangian Knights and their conquest for power” – a PvP rewards track, and “a whole host of other updates”.
“Step into the Arena to test your skills against other combatants!” Amazon explains in the game’s latest blog post. “3v3 Arenas are a new small-scale PvP game mode where teams of three can face off for fame, glory, and riches. You might even win a few unique housing items.”
Each Arena match is a Best-of-five contest and the first to secure three of the two-minute-long rounds wins. That said, “if the battle lingers”, “a deadly ring of fire will push players to the centre of the arena, forcing combatants to engage or die!”
