The Rabbit's Revenge Event in New World
Attention adventurers! The New World Update 1.9.1 is launching on April 11th at 11:00am PT (6:00am UTC) and brings with it the Rabbit's Revenge Event. This event is all about hunting corrupt rabbits, which will earn you event-specific rewards.
The return of dangerous rabbits
The rabbit plague is back - this time more dangerous than ever before! From April 12th to 25th, you must keep your eyes open and look for event-specific loot while avoiding explosive dangers. Thanks to player feedback from last year, every rare drop is now guaranteed once a certain number of corrupt rabbits have been killed.
