New World Talks About Player Housing In This Week’s Dev Diary

Just like in real life, you’ll have to work hard before you can finally build the house of your dreams in New World, Amazon Game Studios’ upcoming survival MMORPG. Well, probably not as hard but it won’t be a walk in the park either. According to the latest dev blog, you’ll need to be at least level 20 and have high Standing within your chosen Settlement’s Territory. Complete daily Territory activities to increase your Standing.

Of course, you’ll also need to have enough money to purchase the house itself and pay property tax to maintain it. “Houses range in size, features, and cost. Some houses overlook the center of town, while others have balconies with nice views over the Settlement walls,” says Amazon. “Some houses have exterior areas for decoration, while others simply feature a front or back porch. There are a variety of locations and styles to choose from in each Settlement. The Settlements themselves also have distinct aesthetics with house designs and floor plans specific to that Settlement.”

Once you have a place to call your own, you can then start decorating your house with a variety of items such as tables and chairs, plants, furniture, and other decorative items. You can even bring home pets that you find during your adventures in Aeternum. You can also invite your friends over and compete with your neighbors for the title of the best decorated house in the Settlement.
