In Tempest’s Heart, a new end-game expedition, New World’s main-story questline resolves as players pursue Isabella back to Shattered Mountain, leading to an epic final showdown. Players will enter the Tempest’s Heart as they venture into a corrupted dimension of reality through the twisted capital city of Myrkgard, and discover the secrets of Isabella’s past as they dive deeper into her corrupted mind.
Heart of Madness also introduces the Blunderbuss, a new weapon that offers high mobility and close- to mid-range damage. Players can progress through two Blunderbuss mastery trees, allowing for two distinct playstyles, Chaos and Containment. Upon reaching Level 60 and maximum skill level with the Blunderbuss, players can take part in a new Legendary Weapon quest series.
