The latest update for the popular MMORPG New World, version 1.9.1, is set to go live on April 11 at 11 PM PT (6 AM UTC), introducing the much-anticipated Rabbit’s Revenge event. Players will have the chance to hunt down Corrupted Rabbits and earn event-specific rewards from April 12 to April 25. The update also brings numerous bug fixes and improvements to enhance the overall gaming experience.
The Rabbit’s Revenge event sees the return of a rabbit plague, but this time, the creatures are corrupted and far more dangerous. Players must be wary of exploding rabbits while hunting them down for rare and exclusive loot. The event’s rewards were inspired by a classic game featuring creepy rabbit-mask-wearing enemies. The event promises to add a touch of playful absurdity to the game, giving players a chance to secure unique helmet skins, reminiscent of the Turkey Leg boots from the Turkulon event.
