Amazon has announced the first expansion for its open world MMO New World.

Titled Rise of the Angry Earth and set for release on October 3, 2023, the expansion will introduce mounts and a new weapon, while raising the level cap to 65, among other features.

The expansion will be priced at $29.99 and require the base game. New players will be able to pick up both together for $69.99 as part of the New World: Elysian Edition bundle.

In New World: Rise of the Angry Earth, the southeastern tip of Aeternum, formerly known as First Light, has fallen,” Amazon said. “Once a welcoming place for newcomers to Aeternum, the fields have been ravaged by the fury of Artemis and the Angry Earth.

No one is certain what has become of the people and villages that once populated the area, and a deadly barrier has kept all but the most intrepid from attempting to find out.

This abundance of earthly powers has awakened the mighty Beast Lords, a new possible adversary facing the people of Aeternum… but with them also comes a boon – the secret to taming and riding animals.
