New World authors are giving away a major DLC for free

Amazon Games has just released the Nighthaven expansion and announced the start of the tenth season in its MMORPG New World. The developers have added a new map, storyline, raids and the «Catacombs» mode, as well as monsters and gear items. But the biggest surprise for users was the cancellation of the paid status for one of the largest add-ons, which used to be offered for an amount equivalent to 30 dollars. Any owner of the base version can now install Rise of the Angry Earth and enjoy adventures in the wilds of angry nature.

The main question users are asking right now is: can those who have already purchased the DLC get a refund? The developers answer: if the purchase is less than 30 days old, the money can be easily returned using the options provided by Steam. Owners of the updated version of the game subtitled Aeternum have nothing to worry about — the expansion content is included by default. Only those gamers who previously bought NW but never installed any expansions will receive the gift for free and without any additional actions. The client will install all files automatically along with the season 10 update.

At the time, the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion brought radical changes to the game. Heroes gained the ability to tame mounts — direwolves, horses and lions. By leveling the riding skill, users could improve their pets and increase their movement speed. The DLC also opened a new location with bosses — beast lords. The maximum character level was raised to 65 and gear score to 700. In addition, exotic armor and weapon samples appeared, including the flail. The brave were given the opportunity to undertake the «Wild Maw» expedition and unleash primal power through the «Heart Runes» ability.
