Like many other games in this genre, New World takes place in a high fantasy setting with wizards and knights traveling across open spaces. What sets it apart stylistically is an emphasis on pirates and the supernatural.
The developers are pushing the game’s combat as its main selling point, calling it “skill-based and visceral…” New World offers four different multiplayer combat experiences, as well: War, Outpost Rush, Expeditions, and Invasions.
War is a large scale player-versus-player (PVP) mode with up to 100 players; Outpost Rush has two teams of 20 people fighting for control of an area, Expeditions are instanced dungeons against monsters, and Invasion sees gamers defend a fortress against a horde.
