A New World!
New World's hot release in October is starting to lose some momentum as players explore other games, but that's not stoping Amazon Games from updating the MMO RPG on a weekly basis.
Update 1.0.6 appears to have been cancelled in favour of the 1.1 update "Into the Void".
The most recent update swatted a number of bugs and was a big Halloween focused update.
Here's what's new in update 1.0.6 for New World!
Release Date
This week was expected to release this past Thursday, but has yet to relase. Perhaps the next update is delayed or weekly updates are no longer going to be the norm.
Once we have more clarity we'll update you here.
Downtime And Size
Downtime takes place from 2PM GMT/3PM CET/7AM PT/8AM CT/9AM ET.
The update size is never more than a few GBs.
1.0.6 Patch Notes
Instead of patch 1.0.6, New World are moving to update 1.1 instead.
We can expect a new gold duplication glitch to be patched very soon as it once again runs rampant in New World.
On the 17th November, downtime was held that saw the re-enabilisation of Wealth Transfers (with the exception of housing decoration items) and "Immobilised" players will now respawn properly.
In the meantime, New World has detailed a number of updates coming to the game that you can see below.
Dev Update
New World has issued a Dev blog update that details all of the changes they're looking to combat in future updates including:
- Server Transfers
- Region Transfers
- Server Merges
- War Declaration Issues

Public Test Realm
The Public Test Realm acts as a staging area for new potential updates to be tested before going live to the public. It's a good idea to have this feature implemented as it will prevent unfinished, buggy or unwanted updates crawling into the main servers.
You can read all of the details on this here.
