New World Improves Quest System And Adds Voice-Overs In The Latest Alpha Update
Ever since New World moved away from being a hardcore full-loot PvP game, Amazon Game Studios has shifted their focus to making the game’s quest system as immersive as possible while making sure that players never run out of things to do. The dev team’s latest newsletter talks about the improvements they’ve made to the game’s quest system in this month’s alpha update.
“Quests are the backbone of New World’s narrative experience. Through them, you will explore the world, gain experience, acquire critical items, upgrade your gear, and progress your character. Armed with your feedback, we have been consistently making improvements to our questing system and will continue to make changes as we head toward launch and beyond.”
The developers recently made improvements to the progression and flow of the starting experience and early main story quests. They also restructured quests across various zones for better narrative flow. Many generic looting quests have also been replaced with custom usable items unique to a specific quest. NPC dialog has also been improved and voice-overs have been added to main story quests to bring the characters to life.
“In future updates, we will continue to build out the MSQ by adding narrative-driven climatic events through level 60,” promised the devs. “These will introduce new enemies, unique objectives to continue to improve quest variety, and new stories for the players to experience on their quest to learn the secrets of Aeternum.”
In the meantime, you can check out a sample of the newly-added voice overs in the video below. You can also head over to the New World official site for more details.
