Hello Adventurers,
Amazon Games is pushing up their May PTR to be live now! As of April 28th, 2022 at 10AM PT the PTR went live with the new update. This update comes with features for PvP and PvE players alike. I dare say I think Amazon wants to spend a bit more time on or push this May content patch out sooner than later. Let's take a look at
what is coming to New World!
PTR PvE Changes
New Mutations And New Expedition Mutation
