New World’s Heart Of Madness Update Arrives This Month With A New Dungeon And Weapon

With the bug squashing February update live in New World, Amazon Game Studios is now setting the stage for the game’s next major update called Heart of Madness. The update will wrap up the Isabella storyline and will come with a new endgame expedition – the Tempest’s Heart.

“The main story quest line picks up as you pursue Isabella back to Shattered Mountain, leading to an epic final showdown. Enter the Tempest’s Heart as you venture into a corrupted dimension of reality through the twisted capital city of Myrkgard. Discover the secrets of her past while you dive deeper into her corrupted mind. The Tempest’s Heart is an endgame expedition for 5 players. Recommended for level 60 players with Gearscore 550 or above.”

Aside from new story content, Heart of Madness will also introduce the new Blunderbuss weapon that’s sure to delight trigger-happy adventurers in Aeternum.

“The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon that offers high-mobility coupled with potent close-to-mid range damage. It’s the first weapon to scale on strength and intelligence, making it a good companion for bruiser or mage builds.”

As with all other weapons, the Blunderbuss will come with two distinct weapon mastery trees: the Containment tree, for players who like to get up close and personal before pumping their enemies with lead; and the Chaos tree, which focuses on keeping a good distance away from enemies while bombarding them with AoE skills. The Blunderbuss will also come with its own Legendary Weapon Quest series that players can embark on upon hitting level 60 and reaching the maximum skill level with the new weapon.

The Heart of Madness will be heading to the PTR soon. In the meantime, you can also head over to the New World official site for more details on the upcoming update.
