Rabbit's Revenge, a Season 1 End Date, and Many Fixes Coming Tomorrow in New World Update 1.9.1

New World has shared notes for tomorrow’s update, which brings back an updated Rabbit’s Revenge event, and updated the Season 1 end date after Fellowship & Fire’s delay.

Tomorrow brings back Rabbit’s Revenge, which returns with updates, including rule changes that mean guaranteed access to the event loot for hitting specific rabbit-slaying milestones. This change means that there’s a clear goal to meet in order to take home the event items. The change came after community feedback following last year’s many instances of players slaying the invading rabbits by the dozens or even hundreds and never even getting some of the event drops. New this year is the Corrupted Rabbit Mask.

The team also shared a notice on the end date for Season 1. Fellowship & Fire’s season activities and the Leaderboards will close on July 6th. This new date comes after the update and the Leaderboards end date was delayed for several days to get some additional work. 

Also in tomorrow’s update, aside from the Corrupted rabbit hordes, are a number of fixes and adjustments. The big seasonal update is already out the door, so this one, aside from the event, is largely about housekeeping. 

In the last update, some items got some unintended perks and this update will reroll affected items. This might change their status, and the notes even indicate that some could become Legendary as a result. Keep an eye on your items.

Changes include some UI tweaks, and a number of bug fixes for recently-added features like the Empyrean Forge expedition and related quest, “A Toymaker’s Request”. The quest is temporarily disabled until this fix goes through. 

Also getting fixed is an Arena bug keeping players from changing gear while in the spectator box. Ice Gauntlet gets two changes, a fix for Ice Pylon getting stuck in a cooldown state and another to revert a Perk. 

Head to New World for the full notes. And look out for rabbits when the update goes live, beginning with downtime tonight at 11 PM PDT.
