Recently, some data miners have discovered that players can obtain some data on armor skins, weapon abilities, etc. from New World microtransactions. The New World data mine is a fairly large data mine, provided by Reddit user m4rx. In most cases, the things provided through microtransactions look very standard, with many weapon and armor skins, as well as consumable equipment dyes, pets, clothing, and so on.
Players can purchase the in-game currency called Marks of Fortune in the New World microtransactions, but it is not clear whether this is only for cosmetic upgrades, or whether players can also use it to purchase game enhancements. The data also shows that there may be an optional New World Steam subscription. These microtransactions seem to reflect the assurances of New World developers that they will not sell in-game upgrades before 2022, so players can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
This is not just about the details of microtransactions. New World data mining also reveals a lot of other information about the features and cosmetics players may experience in the completed game. Although some of the "new weapons" of data mining may actually be just variants or redesigns, the Void Gauntlet looks like a real deal.
In addition to this new weapon, m4rx has also found many new armor skins in the game files of New World. After some work, they were able to capture the look of these New World Coins armor suits. Among them, the rune suit and the pirate suit look quite familiar, although they have the unique visual distortion of New World. In addition, Twitch's unique Corrupted Armor or Shield of Providence suit looks very weird in a cool fantasy way. Finally, m4rx can obtain images that look like small map frames.
It is worth remembering that, as m4rx correctly pointed out, these are all files currently contained in the New World closed test directory. There is no guarantee that they will actually enter the game, so try not to rely too much on armor sets or weapon abilities. That being said, players are likely to see these features in the game soon, whether it is in closed beta or when the finished product is released.
New World is currently in a closed beta, and players will be able to Buy New World Coins pre-order on Steam when the full game is released on August 31. In addition, players can immediately visit NewWorldCoins to purchase a large amount of cheap New World Coins to prepare for the game in advance.
