New World Game Client Update

Attention New World Adventurers,

We are excited to invite you back to Aeternum. Tomorrow morning, we will be announcing details for the upcoming Preview event on August 25th. During this event, Pre-order customers, Alpha Testers, and Beta Test signups (prior to July 9th) will be able to play New World and share their experiences.

In an effort to reduce confusion, we want to let you know that the Preview event will not be taking place on the New World Confidential Test game client. Today you may receive a notification that an update is available for that client, but you can uninstall and remove that client from your Game Library as it will not be playable.

We will revoke access to the New World Confidential Test client tomorrow (August 20, 2020) but this is unrelated to your access to the Preview event. If you are eligible for Preview you will receive an invite to a new client, New World Preview, which is where the upcoming event will take place.

Please check with us tomorrow for detailed information about the upcoming August 25th event.

TLDR - The New World Confidential Test client on Steam will not be used for the Preview event, you can uninstall immediately. Ignore any updates or changes to that client. If eligible to participate, you will receive a new client, New World Preview.

Thank you,
The New World Team
