With the new Heart of Madness expansion dropping even more content into the game, as well as the fearsome blunderbuss, the devs have thrown open the shores of this long lost paradise to grant players a free to play weekend on Steam.
Not only this, there’s a fun-filled Easter event featuring adorable yet deadly rabbits on the horizon, too. Aptly entitled ‘Rabbit’s Revenge,’ here’s everything you need to know about both the event, and New World’s free-to-play weekend.

As one good thing ends another begins, as on April 12 New World’s Easter event, Rabbit’s Revenge, will flood Aeternum with fearsome furballs just looking to cause some mischief.
By curbing the tide of these cheeky little critters, you’ll be able to grab up to three Diamond Gypsum loot drops, as well as five luck-increasing consumables. If lady luck is, indeed, on your side, word has it that these bunnies also have a mythic storage chest hidden in their lair just waiting for you to find it.
