Of course, had New World not been delayed (again) you’d be closer to playing it properly already. But another beta is better than nothing, right? The open beta will run from 3pm BST (7am PT) on September 9th until 8am BST (12am PT) on September 12th. Ed had a pretty good time with the MMO, and wrote about how the game has as much in common with Valheim as it does World Of Warcraft in his New World preview. He also thinks the crafting is pretty great, though that might be because he was forced to use it. If you’re planning on jumping into the beta, it’s worth checking out our New World guides. We’ve got advice on how to play with your friends, how New World’s attributes work, and even how to fish.
