Amazon Games has announced the release of the Public Test Realm for New World, which will begin on November 10th at 12 PM PT and will serve as dedicated server players can download to test out new content and patches before they make it to the live game.
Unlike other PTR's players will not be able to transfer their characters over to these new servers, and instead, Amazon will grant instant levels and gear if appropriate to the content being tested.
These servers will only be available during testing of new content, and once testing is complete servers will be wiped and closed until the next updates come around.
All players who own a copy of New World will have access to the Public Test Realm in their Steam library, and players who have no interest in participating in the PTR can right-click and hide the game from their library.
