New World is hosting Faction Fest this weekend, a competitive PvE dungeon event from June 27th to 29th encouraging players to join one of the game's three PvP factions and tackle expeditions.
The event features daily objectives tied to Expeditions, where completing objectives increases a Faction's score; participants can earn Titles like Explorer and Scout, with an overall winner declared based on total objective completions.
There are bonuses, armor sets, and rewards for the winning faction and all participants throughout the event, with overhauled expedition rewards that will remain after the event.
Amazon's Forged in Aeternum video not only recaps the Faction Fest but also hints at the upcoming Capture the Flag PvP mode scheduled for the Fourth of July weekend.
The community-voted 'Bridge' map has been renamed to Frozen Pass, as announced in the official updates.
