Amazon’s flagship MMORPG, New World, is beckoning players into the chaotic world of Aeternum with a free weekend on Steam and an all-new Easter event; Rabbit’s Revenge. Here’s everything you need to know.
Set in an ever-expanding world where 17th Century themes collide with all things fantasy, Amazon Games’ flagship MMORPG, New World, tasks players with carving a fresh start on the forgotten isle of Aeternum.
With the new Heart of Madness expansion dropping even more content into the game, as well as the fearsome blunderbuss, the devs have thrown open the shores of this long lost paradise to grant players a free to play weekend on Steam.
Not only this, there’s a fun-filled Easter event featuring adorable yet deadly rabbits on the horizon, too. Aptly entitled ‘Rabbit’s Revenge,’ here’s everything you need to know about both the event, and New World’s free-to-play weekend.

In order to celebrate this free-to-play weekend, old and new players can pick up the Black Bear Pelt Rug for their home via the in-game store. Again, this drop is completely free, and will add a certain rustic elegance to your home away from home.
New World: Rabbit’s Revenge Easter event

By curbing the tide of these cheeky little critters, you’ll be able to grab up to three Diamond Gypsum loot drops, as well as five luck-increasing consumables. If lady luck is, indeed, on your side, word has it that these bunnies also have a mythic storage chest hidden in their lair just waiting for you to find it.
