In New World, players are pitted against the haunted wilderness of a mysterious island known as Aeternum. Success in New World depends on players’ ability to conquer not only companies of rival players, but the dark soul of Aeternum itself, as it unleashes undead legions, hell-bent on purging them from its shores. In its unsettled state, Aeternum is open and chaotic, but rich in opportunity for soldiers, explorers, artisans, and empire-builders.
Fate has summoned you to the shores of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle. Overcome the brutal legions of The Corrupted and draw battle lines with competing players in this land of danger and opportunity. In a land hell-bent on your destruction, what will you do to survive? Strike out alone to forge your own heroic path, or band together, fortify, and fight.
Massive battles set New World apart, with fortress sieges against other players and supernatural invasions, featuring up to 100 players on the battlefield at once. Combat in New World is visceral and skill-based, giving players direct control over their movements and attacks. Players can band together to form powerful Companies operating out of fortified strongholds, or play alone and acquire and customize their own homes as they contribute to the growth of the larger community around them. New World provides near-limitless play, with classless character progression, social systems, and rich crafting mechanics.
Today, Amazon Games shared the details for New World’s Springtide Bloom, a new limited-time event packed with exclusive rewards.
Starting April 26 through May 23, heroes of Aeternum must help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom and collect Springtide's fertile bounty of event-specific rewards.

Players can earn a variety of rewards through Springtide Centerpieces, Party Bags, Prismabloom Harvests and the Event Shop.

LORE
"I hear them," she murmured. "They're calling."
Hashiki Kimani was alone deep within the forest, surround by the stillness of nature, and yet she tread with purpose, her attention fixated on some unheard sound. Distant gleeful laughter — Or was it singing? — filled her head.
“Yes, I am here!” she replied to the silence, arms open in embrace. “I am… home!”
She turned about, enraptured by sights only conjurable by the imagination, spinning atop the damp grass as if she were a lost child suddenly found. Lights twinkled in her eyes, like dancing fireflies, but no such light reflected back out into the night - only the pale glow of the silver moon illuminated her unescorted waltz.
“Thank you, thank you!” she cried, “Yes, I’ve longed to see you all, as well.”
Hashiki’s head turned as she spoke, her attention drawn to many directions at once. “Of course! …Oh? Truly? That’s wonderful news! When? …But that’s so sudden. So much has happened as of late. …Yes, I agree entirely. But will they be prepared in time? …Oh! I am honored beyond words. Yes, yes, however I can be of aid!”
She nodded attentively, absorbing all that she could, assuring with the utmost certainty her devotion to this most gratifying new mission that remained secret to all but herself.
“And yet to leave you so soon,” she sighed, then warmly knelt to the earth, her head bowed in dutiful reverence. There she remained, for many a moment, before rising suddenly, changed.
“I will inform the people of Aeternum,” said the Bloom Herald. “I will shepherd those who seek the Truth. I will assemble your Children of the Bloom. Of this and my love, you have my undying pledge.”
With long strides, she departed the forest and set for town. When dawn finally blossomed over the horizon, many locals and travelers bore witness to the salient Bloom Herald, decorated with otherworldly gifts from her beloved Folk, singing and chanting, "They're here! They've come!"
