Maintenance of Downtime in the New World, Update 1.0.2 PATCH NOTES and Server Transfers

New World Update 1.0.2 is available for download on PC and Steam.

The latest New World update brings server transfers one step closer to reality.

According to Amazon Games, the team is working hard on the feature, which should be ready soon.

“This week’s update brings with it a slew of bug fixes, in addition to laying additional groundwork for the upcoming server handover feature,” explained Amazon.

“Many members of our team are still working tirelessly to ensure that everyone can find a world to call their home for the long haul with the character transfer feature.”

Unfortunately, however, update 1.0.2 will be launched at the same time as a period of server downtime.

The server maintenance starts at 11 a.m. Dutch time. Even more annoying is that server downtime lasts 5 hours.

The news was announced by Amazon Games on Twitter: “We will be having downtime on 10/13 at 3AM PT [6 AM ET]. The estimated downtime is approximately 5 hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding!”

faction missions…
