New World: Aeternum Update 1.1.0 downtime will begin at 5:00 a.m. PT (12:00 p.m. UTC) on October 22 and last approximately 1.5 hours. Banish the shadowy demon back to the darkness, don unique costumes, and trick-or-treat for unique candy rewards during the Nightveil Hallow event.

Check out the full release notes, including various bug fixes, below.

[h2]Nightveil Hallow[/h2]
Shapes in the mist! Shrieks in the night! The demon Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror, and his horde of ghoulish Pumpkinites are spreading a living nightmare across Aeternum. Aid Salvatore the Mad in his quest to banish these foul terrors and collect a bounty of Nightveil Hallow rewards.

Nightveil Hallow returns on October 22 through November 5. You can also purchase event-specific items in the Event Shop.

[h3]World Experience[/h3]

• Fixed a rendering issue in Ebonscale Reach that caused flags to become discolored on HDR displays.
  
• Improved the blending of shadows after transitioning cameras (e.g., during in-game cinematics), game modes, and fast traveling.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the chapter 4 task "The Trial of the Devourer I" to not be completable. This task was previously disabled.
  
• Fixed a rare issue that caused a crash when when crossing boundaries between certain areas in the open world.
