New World Dev Tracker

You will need to purchase the game when it officially releases next year.

We have not yet announced the end of the Density Test. We'll be making an announcement regarding this after 4pm today.

As you know, currently New World has a Density Test going on to put a strain on our servers in preparation for the upcoming August preview event.

At the start of the test, Alpha Testers, who were already playing on Steam with us, and all Pre-order customers were invited to join. This gave us a major concurrency spike on Thursday night. Then on Friday, we invited a wave of Beta Test signups to give us another big wave Friday night, and finally we invited even more Beta Testers early this morning to continue adding to the tester pool.

We were unclear about when the test would end because we didn't know what it would take to achieve our testing goals. We will be announcing details on when it will end today after 4pm PT.

Hope this answer/non-answer is at least helpful. Thanks for your support during this test! Everyone has been extremely supportive and helpful and we are very grateful.

This is a watermark. Everyone has a unique code on their gameplay so that when something leaks we have all the information needed to remove them from the game.

We have people on leak patrol. We won't be able to catch everyone but we are out there. We're about to pull the curtain back on Aug 25th for the Preview Event and everyone will see what New World is all about at that point.

You can log in at any point. Those are just windows of time we would like people to jump in for higher density moments.

The only place you can currently discuss the game is in our Official Forums. Talking about or showing your gameplay outside of that is a violation of the NDA.

Progress will be wiped after the Density Test concludes.

Please keep your questions about direct gameplay experience to https://forums.newworld.com/ . Posting here about your gameplay experience is a breach of the NDA.

EU, Ordered over Amazon - 2020 Feb, No Key so far
Followed the recommendation on Twitter ( @PlaynewworldDE) to contact Amazon Support. Chat Support opened a Ticket to the Concern Team.

12:18 AM PDT AMAZON: I've raised trouble ticket for this issue
12:19 AM PDT AMAZON: Please do not worry we will send it to you through email
12:19 AM PDT Me: Ok
12:19 AM PDT AMAZON: The concern team will get back to you with the code

Have you received your code yet?

Hello

I’m seeing a few lingering reports of people who should have received a key and still don’t have access. If you’ve pre-ordered on Steam or Amazon, or recently participated in the Alpha and you currently don’t have access to the Density Test, let me know. We can work together with Customer Service to make sure we resolve the issue.

I pre-ordered the game on Amazon a while back and have not been invited to this test. Should I have received an email?

Can I stream my play via Discord in a private channel to like 3 buddies who are curious about pre-ordering for the August beta?

That would be a violation of the NDA.

Thanks for the heads up, Legion!

Might I also suggest that you guys be more active on reddit or social media? Transparency is key.

You will certainly see an uptick in our communication once the NDA is lifted.

Thank you in advance to everyone who is going to participate in the Density Test that kicks off today. The data we’re going to get from this will be crucial in ensuring a more stable Preview Event coming up in late August.

This is just a reminder that the Density Test is still under NDA and by launching the game you agree not to stream, capture content, or openly discuss your experience.

The Preview Event that begins on August 25 will not have an NDA associated with it so you can feel free talk publicly, create content, and more.

Thanks again for your help!
