New World Aeternum: Siege of Sulfur event guide

A classic New World Aeternum event is coming back soon — Siege of Sulfur. Available for a limited time, it gives you a chance to pick up some powerful gear and work together alongside other players for a common cause. While it’s a simple enough event, it’s still recommended to be level 60+ before even tackling it due to the challenge of the battles. There will be several locations you can head to for this limited-time event as well.

The Siege of Sulfur limited-time event first kicked off in the early days of the MMO, and it’s being brought back for the New World Aeternum version as well. If you want to know what the rewards and fights for this event will be, we’ve got you covered.

The Siege of Sulfur event will be available in New World Aeternum from February 4, 2025, through February 24, 2025. Since the last time it was available, there have been some minor changes to the event itself — specifically, in the types of rewards that it offers.
