@nelsonN3 @NewWorldFans @AngryFilip_ New World will release on August 31, 2021, with the Closed Beta launching before that on July 20, 2021. For any further questions, please get in touch. =)
@LilPenguBaby The alpha is still running for a while, unfortunately we don't have an exact date for you yet. Barkimedes is surely looking forward to your arrival on Aeternum. Therefore, we wish you good luck for the next wave of invitations.
@Jonny2k10 Then you now have the necessary skills that you certainly do not miss our mail. Unfortunately, we do not yet have an exact date for the EU invitations.
@Rods13831593 We understand your enthusiasm to play New World and this time we are committed to launching New World on the 31st of August. Thank you for your patience and support.
@lvckone Thank you for your inquiry. If you pre-ordered the game through Amazon you will get an email containing the key which you can activate on steam to access the Closed Beta test.
@MoldyGecko While the Alpha test is and has always been closed and populated by random selection invitation only, the Beta test is open to everyone who has pre-ordered the game just as the Preview event was before.
@GrabbyLIVE That sounds great. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our New World Creator Program and sign up today! By signing up, you are automatically accepted and will begin receiving news and information emails. https://www.newworld.com/en-us/forward-link?id=creator-program-signup
@Newt_Twitch Pre-ordering will guarantee access to the Closed Beta Test. You may also sign up for a chance at an invitation to the Alpha test in the meantime. Those aren't guaranteed but by random selection from the sign-up pool: https://www.newworld.com/en-us/tester-sign-up
@MoldyGecko We launched an Alpha Test in October and it has been live since then with regular waves of invites. We are maintaining a relatively small tester group to focus as many resources as possible on development over live services.
@Newt_Twitch @Salmana46616338 The good news is that Closed Beta will not be under NDA, so everyone can tune into their favorite content creators and learn a ton about the game.
@dez1nd @Jonny2k10 We will be sending an invite wave out to help populate the EU Alpha Test server with the tester group we need. We don't yet have the exact date on when the invites will be sent, but it is likely the invites will be sent March 30th.
@MoldyGecko Pre-ordering grants guaranteed access to Closed Beta, not Alpha Testing. No Closed Beta has happened for New World yet, that starts July 20. We did a Preview event to give Pre-order customers the chance to play and provide feedback before we continued development.
@MoldyGecko Periodic Preview events would have a huge negative impact on our ability to develop the game, stopping dev work to stand up Preview builds and run live services at scale with hundreds of thousands of players, rather than our Alpha which just has hundreds of players.
@Solitaris1 Appreciate your feedback Sol! Weβre always looking for new ways to improve the game. Weβll pass your feedback about solo content forward.
