Why we started Open World
Who we are, what we are building, and the things we will never do.
Read more →WHAT IS OPEN WORLD
Open World is a volunteer, open-source project building software to host your own New World server on your own hardware. It covers everything from a solo world on your desktop to a server for a large group of players.
Nothing launches while the official servers are online. When they close, the source goes public on our git, followed by the launcher and server host. Until then, development happens in the open on Discord and in the dev blog.
- Open source after the official sunset
- Not a private server. We never host servers.
- No donations or monetization, ever

VETTED SERVERSWIP
Community servers, checked by volunteers
Servers will be listed here once a volunteer has checked them, with live status next to each one. The list opens after the official sunset. We list servers; we do not run them.
- Checked by a volunteer before listing
- Clear rules and a reachable admin
- Live status next to each listing (coming soon)
