Confused about what to get

[Holy Fool Sehrael]

Hi and I'm sorry but I'm really confused at this point ^^ Is the Addon included in the Standard Edition and only has to be purchased by people that own the base game? Because in some other thread I've read it's 30e + 30e for base and expansion or something to that effect which confuses me. Maybe I've accidentally skipped or misunderstood the part in the store description that tells me this but either way a definitive answer would help me out a great deal x)

New World: Aeternum @ $60 is the base game and DLC combined. The DLC is still for sale separately for those that have the base game and never purchased the DLC.

As it says in the description -

"For players on PC, access to the content in the New World: Aeternum update will depend on what New World products you have:

I have the New World base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

If you currently have the New World base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, you will have access to all content in the New World: Aeternum update for free.

I only have the New World base game and not the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

If you currently only have the New World base game, you will have access to only some of the updates and content that launch with New World: Aeternum. To get access to all of the content like the new Raid, you will need to purchase the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion.

I don’t have New World yet on PC.

New PC players will want to get either the New World: Aeternum Standard Edition or New World: Aeternum Deluxe Edition."

Yeah but it doesn't explicitly state if the DLC is included or not. C'mon please, a simple answer with own words isn't too much to ask now, is it? Thanks for the try I guess, but it's not clear enough for me, sorry.

My stoopid ass forgot Google exists and I'm probably not the only one thinking it's not clear, so I googled and found out that with Aeternum the Base Game + Expansion are merged into the Standard Edition you can buy now. So in short, the expansion is included. Sorry for lé oopsie, could've thought of that earlier ^^

(Editing the post without notifying me that you did (As if I check the thread without notifications :D) would've been better as a post, but ty :P)

Is this legit? Because I see multiple sources still selling the base game and the dlc separately.
So if I only get the base game it would activate as NW Aeternum?

"New World: Aeternum features all major content from New World on PC, including the full base game and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, as well as all seasonal content and updates that have been released since New World launched in 2021." quoted directly from Amazon, the first result if you ask google if the Expac is included ^^

No, old keys did not get updated. As far as I know only two places legitimately sell New World. If you buy from a grey market seller you are likely to get old stock and need to buy both parts seperatly.

Buyer beware if the base game is still available for sale on another site, it won't include the AE DLC. You should get the Aeternum upgrade when you install it though.

Even if any third party keys worked, it would say New World: Aeternum, as it did for people that hadn't purchased the DLC. Aeternum added/changed things across the entire game but you only have access to changes to the parts you purchased. The product called New World: Aeternum priced at $60 is both the old base game and the DLC.
