What started as a very niche hobby soon took the world by storm. As millions upon millions of gamers flocked to the internet to team up against some gruesome looking sprites, the video game industry saw real value in the genre. This was certainly helped by later releases like Runescape and World of Warcraft being massive, worldwide phenomenons. It\u2019s a testament to the genre\u2019s incredible success that Amazon Games\u2019 latest title, \u201c<em><strong>New World<\/strong><\/em>\u201d is able to exist at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After tending to the issues with the July Beta, it seemed like fans really didn\u2019t get their fill the first time. The game was a&nbsp;<strong>smash hit<\/strong>&nbsp;upon it\u2019s release on September the 28th. According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mmo-population.com\/r\/newworldgame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MMO Populations<\/a>, in less than two weeks of being released, the game\u2019s nearing a&nbsp;<strong>hundred thousand Steam reviews<\/strong>, has a total of over&nbsp;<strong>13 million players<\/strong>&nbsp;and a peak of&nbsp;<strong>900 thousand concurrent players<\/strong>. This news certainly got me wanting to check New World out for myself. For the uninformed, the game has two versions to choose from, namely the&nbsp;<em><strong>Standard Edition<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em><strong>Deluxe Edition<\/strong><\/em>. We\u2019re going to be looking at what separates the two versions from each other, and whether the Deluxe Edition upgrade is worth it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#What_does_New_World_Deluxe_Edition_come_with\" title=\"What does New World Deluxe Edition come with?\">What does New World Deluxe Edition come with?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Woodsman_Armor_Skin\" title=\"Woodsman Armor Skin\">Woodsman Armor Skin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Woodsman_Hatchet_Skin\" title=\"Woodsman Hatchet Skin\">Woodsman Hatchet Skin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Mastiff_House_Pet\" title=\"Mastiff House Pet\">Mastiff House Pet<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#RockPaperScissors_Emote_Set\" title=\"Rock\/Paper\/Scissors Emote Set\">Rock\/Paper\/Scissors Emote Set<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#New_World_Digital_Art_Book\" title=\"New World Digital Art Book\">New World Digital Art Book<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Can_I_upgrade_to_New_Word_Deluxe_Edition_from_Standard\" title=\"Can I upgrade to New Word Deluxe Edition from Standard?\">Can I upgrade to New Word Deluxe Edition from Standard?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Is_it_Worth_Getting_the_New_World_Deluxe_Edition_Upgrade\" title=\"Is it Worth Getting the New World Deluxe Edition Upgrade?\">Is it Worth Getting the New World Deluxe Edition Upgrade?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/games\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-new-world-deluxe-edition-come-with%3F\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_New_World_Deluxe_Edition_come_with\"><\/span>What does New World Deluxe Edition come with?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simulatorhardware.com\/images\/new-world-standard-vs-deluxe-edition.webp\" alt=\"New World Standard Edition Vs. Deluxe Edition\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Standard Edition, of course, comes with&nbsp;<strong>all<\/strong>&nbsp;the bells and whistles of the full release. You\u2019ll be able to enjoy all the PvE and PvP shenanigans with battles, crafting and building as you\u2019d expect. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not going to be missing out on any gameplay or graphical elements either. There\u2019s not any story or gameplay DLC out as of yet, so the base game is pretty much just that. But enough about what you get with the Standard Edition of the game, what does your money get you with the Deluxe Edition? As it turns out, Amazon have put together a tidy package with five exclusive bonus items to sweeten the deal. Here\u2019s everything extra that you get with New World Deluxe Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman-armor-skin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Woodsman_Armor_Skin\"><\/span>Woodsman Armor Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the developers marketed the deluxe edition coming with five bonus features, they might have been kinda underselling it. There\u2019s not one singular piece that makes up your armor. Rather it is a collection of various armor pieces. The Woodsman Armor Skin comprises of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman%E2%80%99s-headdress\"><em>Woodsman\u2019s Headdress<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This headdress is real brutal if you ask us. Sporting the skull of a deer complete with it\u2019s horns, it\u2019s sure to catch the eye of your fellow players and make you stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman%E2%80%99s-coat\"><em>Woodsman\u2019s Coat<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The game describes the Woodman\u2019s Coat as \u201cthick enough to keep out the rain\u201d. This is one of those heavy, long, fur coats the likes of which you might have seen in several medieval TV shows. Certainly a looker and fits with the game\u2019s aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman%E2%80%99s-gloves\"><em>Woodsman\u2019s Gloves<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Light colored, thick leathered gloves that compliment the Woodsman\u2019s Coat incredibly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman%E2%80%99s-trousers\"><em>Woodsman\u2019s Trousers<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You might not get a full look at the trousers under your big coat, but to its credit, it blends in incredibly well with the outfit and is an obvious choice with the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman%E2%80%99s-shoes\"><em>Woodsman\u2019s Shoes<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Can\u2019t have your character fight Baines barefoot now can you? These knee length leather boots complete the Woodsman Armor set and will have you take on New World in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply any of these skins, visit your inventory and press the relevant armor category, and then select \u201cChange Skin\u201d. From there scroll down the list until you find the Woodsman items. It\u2019s that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"woodsman-hatchet-skin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Woodsman_Hatchet_Skin\"><\/span>Woodsman Hatchet Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hatchet might be one of your trustiest companions on your playthrough. But can you believe how dull the hatchet looks without a skin? Luckily, with the Deluxe Edition, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. We love the green accents on the blade. They really fit the whole \u201cWoodsman\u201d vibe while also making the axe look enchanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying the Woodsman Skin to your hatchet is exactly the same process as applying the Woodsman Armor skins. Visit your inventory ASAP for that new drip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mastiff-house-pet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mastiff_House_Pet\"><\/span>Mastiff House Pet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They say dogs are man\u2019s best friend. If you resonate with that, you\u2019ll be beyond psyched to learn that the Deluxe Edition grants you a Mastiff as a house pet!&nbsp;<strong>One thing to note<\/strong>&nbsp;though: your pet is not accessible immediately. Before that, you\u2019ll need to buy a house. You\u2019ll need at least a Level 10 Standing in the Territory to get even the most basic house. But once that\u2019s sorted, you\u2019ll find your good-est boy in your humble abode. Imagine coming home from a dungeon to that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rock%2Fpaper%2Fscissors-emote-set\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RockPaperScissors_Emote_Set\"><\/span>Rock\/Paper\/Scissors Emote Set<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic, timeless game makes its way into New World as a Deluxe Edition exclusive addition. Emotes add some personality to your character and also a hint of comedy. Also, this emote can actually be&nbsp;<strong>USEFUL<\/strong>. Playing with a friend and can\u2019t decide who does what? Just whip out this emote together and get through that row. To access the emote, press P and bring up the emote menu and click on Rock\/Paper\/Scissors. You can also type \/rockpaperscissors in the chat box to achieve the same effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-world-digital-art-book\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_World_Digital_Art_Book\"><\/span>New World Digital Art Book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final offering of the Deluxe Edition is the Art Book. To&nbsp;<strong>claim<\/strong>&nbsp;the artbook, head over to Steam, right click on New World and select manage. From there, you can browse your local files to find a folder titled \u201cArt Book\u201d, which houses several language variations of the book. The artbook itself is a collection of beautifully designed and rendered art about the game, its world and its characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-upgrade-to-new-word-deluxe-edition-from-standard%3F\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_upgrade_to_New_Word_Deluxe_Edition_from_Standard\"><\/span>Can I upgrade to New Word Deluxe Edition from Standard?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, as of the time of writing this article, you&nbsp;<strong>cannot<\/strong>&nbsp;upgrade to New World: Deluxe Edition from the Standard Edition. Your best bet to avoid spending the full amount on the Deluxe Edition is to contact Steam for a possible refund on your purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-worth-getting-the-new-world-deluxe-edition-upgrade%3F\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_Worth_Getting_the_New_World_Deluxe_Edition_Upgrade\"><\/span>Is it Worth Getting the New World Deluxe Edition Upgrade?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, it depends. We can make a case for both YES and NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the type of player who enjoys their cosmetic items, like how your weapons and armor look, it\u2019s an easy recommendation. We can double down on it because of the fact that right now, these cosmetic items are actually exclusive to people who purchase Deluxe Edition. If that sounds like something up your alley, our answer is a solid&nbsp;<strong>yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is to be noted that all the changes in the Deluxe Edition are basically entirely cosmetic. They have no effect on how the game plays out, performs or looks. You\u2019re not going to level up faster because you got the Deluxe Edition, and it isn\u2019t going to make the boss fights any easier. If cosmetic changes are not something you\u2019d want to pay actual, real world money for, it\u2019s perhaps best that you&nbsp;<strong>skip<\/strong>&nbsp;paying the difference and&nbsp;<strong>stick with the Standard Edition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By now, you know everything that comes with New World: Deluxe Edition compared to the Standard Edition. If you\u2019re into exclusive, cosmetic goodies, the Deluxe Edition is a must buy. If you just wanna play the game without dishing out extra money for skins, emotes and decorations, buy the Standard Edition instead.
