New World’s Much-Awaited 3v3 PvP Arena Officially Hits The Live Servers

After being teased for several weeks, New World’s big May update is now live featuring a new episode in the Varangian Knights storyline, Expedition Mutators for The Depths, and the highly-awaited 3v3 PvP Arena. The new game mode is open to players level 20 and above and can be accessed from anywhere in Aeternum through the Modes menu.

“Step into the Arena to test your skills against other combatants! 3v3 Arenas are a new small-scale PvP game mode where teams of 3 can face off for fame, glory, and riches. You might even win a few unique housing items. Each Arena match is a “Best-of-5” contest. Fight to be the first team to win 3 rounds and secure the match for your team. Rounds are 2 minutes long, but if the battle lingers, a deadly ring of fire will push players to the center of the arena, forcing combatants to engage or die!”

The update also introduces the new Azoth Salt PvP currency and PvP XP that can be used to unlock rewards via the updated PvP reward track. New Arena-exclusive consumables are also available for use during matches along with new PvP Perks.

“If you find your equipment isn’t rolling your favorite PvP perk, don’t worry,” noted Amazon. “Inside each type of potion pack you will find two perk-crafting items which will allow you to craft some bespoke PvP gear just the way you like it. Go forth, Adventurer! Bring glory to your name!”

A detailed rundown of the new features and content can be found on the New World official site. You can also check out the new trailer below for an overview of the new 3v3 PvP Arena.
