New Vertical Combat Outpost Rush Arrives in New World

Amazon Games is previewing a new Outpost Rush battleground, Tower of Calomel, for New World: Aeternum. This limited-time event runs from September 23 to 30, 2025, on all live servers. Outpost Rush is New World‘s 20v20 PvPvE mode focused on control points, resource gathering, and battling creatures. Calomel marks the first new map since the mode’s 2021 launch.

The map, set above Aeternum’s valleys, features three interconnected combat zones, requiring players to consider verticality and traditional combat.

• Three-tier design: Offers Outer Battlements for long-range combat, an elevated Inner Bailey for mid-range engagements, and the Undercroft, a network of tunnels and resource mines.
• Central Keep capture point: A key objective that can significantly impact momentum.
• Side gatehouses: Provide flanking opportunities rewarding coordinated team maneuvers.
• Resource pressure: Mines and nodes provide resources for upgrades and summons, drawing players from the high ground.
• Baroness world boss: A risky PvE objective in the Undercroft providing a powerful team buff upon defeat.
• Corrupted portal event: A timed objective offering a comeback mechanic for split teams.
• Balance tweaks: Ramparts and ingress points are designed to discourage turtling and encourage movement.

After a challenging launch, New World‘s player base has stabilized and grown in the last six months. Steam concurrent player peaks have increased from 8,900 in March to 15,409 last week.
