New World’s Springtide Bloom is now live, details and more

A little late, but New World didn’t miss to celebrate the arrival of spring, which will crown a new event in Aeternum. This event will introduce new seasonal activities and rewards.

Players will be tasked with crafting new Wispy Spritz to lure pests and collect Wispy Wasp Goo, which then can be exchanged for Springtide Tokens, which then can be used to unlock rewards.

Spring has sprung and the Time of Awakening has now returned to New World once again to celebrate the longer days and warmer weather. Today, Amazon Games’ New World launched the return of Springtide Bloom, available from today through April 23. During this jam-packed seasonal event, heroes of Aeternum must help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom to collect Springtide’s bounty of event-specific rewards.

The event will also introduce Springtide Prismabloom Harvest, a new event where players will be able to earn Premium Springtide Tokens, which are also tied to exclusive rewards.

New World Springtide Bloom Details

The Time of Awakening has once again arrived. Help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom for new and returning event-specific rewards. Pluck carefully from April 17 through April 30, as these precious petals attract the attention of the nefarious Wispy Wasps!

Truth Seekers must be level 25 or higher to embark upon the quest for enlightenment. Springtide Villages are located in Monarch’s Bluff, Everfall, Brightwood, and Weavers Fen. Check out event lore, concept art, rewards, and activities.

When the seasons on Aeternum shift from bitter winter to the blossoming of spring, the celebration of Springtide Bloom takes place. During this time, the joyful Children of Bloom don their distinctive apparel and encourage all denizens of the enchanted island to search for special flowers. The Children believe that these blossoms are a key to a deeper understanding of self and a greater awareness of the miraculous world and its mysteries. Aeternum contains many nightmares, the Children lament, but with the gift of True Sight granted by these flowers, other worlds can be glimpsed and possibly even interacted with if one’s mind and spirit are properly attuned.

Every Springtide, the Children select a representative they call The Bloom Herald to go amongst the citizens of Aeternum and encourage them to hunt for the elusive Wispybloom Flowers. The Herald claims that studying the properties of these mystical blossoms can reveal the mysteries of the island. The Wispyblooms are believed to originate in another realm and manifest during Springtide. They are infused with the magic of that other world, one associated with life and fertility. The Bloom Herald delights in speaking enigmatically, and in giving veiled answers about the miracles the Children claim to see. Although the Herald seems genuinely interested in bringing about an age of peace and harmony, there’s something off-kilter about the Children, a secret they seem to be hiding that hints at something darker behind their euphoria.
