The Summer Medleyfaire has arrived in New World.
In a blog post that outlines the latest update, Amazon Games says the team “took a stylish approach to immersive characters and settings” and whether you prefer “pirates or musical themes, every aspect of this celebration radiates summer fun”.
Right now you can only participate in the aforementioned summer fun via the Public Test Realm (PTR), but the event should be rolling out to all players later in July.
As revealed last month, the Summer Medleyfaire includes musical games, fishing – you can show off your best catches at home – and the chance to unlock new items, including starter instruments. Oh, and there’ll be pirates, too.
As for how the event will encapsulate lazy summer days?
“The main inspiration for the Summer Medleyfaire came from modern music festivals,” explained concept artist Andy Lee. “We wanted bright and colourful palettes to represent the excitement of summer and leaned heavily on coastal or beach motifs like bonfires, tiki torches, and grilling.
