In the ever-evolving world of online gaming, Amazon Games has once again captivated its audience with the announcement of the “Year of the Dragon” event in their popular MMORPG, New World.
As we step into 2024, this event promises to immerse players in ancient traditions and mythical adventures, offering a unique blend of cultural festivities and thrilling challenges.
New World Year of the Dragon 2024: A Journey into the Heart of Tradition
The “Year of the Dragon” event, set to commence on February 7th and run through February 20th, invites players to dive deep into the rich lore of New World. The event is centered around the awakening of the ancient dragon spirit, a symbol of power and wisdom in many cultures. This theme resonates with the game’s narrative, where players explore and conquer a mysterious island known as Aeternum.
The Festivities and Challenges Await
Players will find themselves in the midst of Ebonscale Reach, a region steeped in history and mystery. Here, they can participate in the Longtable Banquet, a feast featuring a variety of festive cuisine. The banquet is more than just a culinary experience; it’s a tribute to the dragon spirit. Players can gather Red Meat from banquet tables and craft a Spicy Hotpot, which grants significant in-game bonuses like increased Faction Token gain and Gathering yield.

The Tribute Offering is another highlight of the event. Players must retrieve Heirlooms from the corrupted and locate the Tribute Table at one of three rotating Points of Interest each day. These offerings call for the Dragon’s Blessing, and successful sacrifices reward players with Fortune’s Gift Sacks. However, the Corrupted Maiden lurks in the shadows, ready to snatch these blessings, adding an element of risk to the rewards.
The Firework Ceremony in the town of Fortune’s Crossing is a spectacle not to be missed. This nightly celebration encapsulates the spirit of the event, combining visual splendor with communal joy.
Unique Rewards and Experiences
The event-specific rewards are a major draw for players. The Fortune’s Gift Sacks, obtainable through various event activities, contain valuable items like Dark Matter, Pristine Gems, and unique dyes. Additionally, players can obtain named Dynasty New Year Gear, including pieces like the Dragonscale Helmet and Breastplate, enhancing their character’s abilities and appearance.
