The delay announcement states that during the recent closed beta, the team was given “a ton of feedback,” and that due to this, it wants to make improvements based on said feedback. “We want New World’s launch to be a smooth and fun experience for all players, and that means making some improvements based on what you encountered during closed beta,” reads the developer update. “So we’re going to take a few extra weeks to smash bugs, improve stability, and polish the game.” The announcement goes on to state the delay wasn’t an easy decision to make, and that the team behind it understands this isn’t the first time the release date has been changed.
