How to form a company in New World

New World is heavily driven by its PvP content, and the best way to take advantage of all it has to offer is by forming a company. These function much like guilds do in other games, as they’re essentially groups of players that work together to accomplish a variety of tasks.

Forming a company in New World is a straightforward process, although there are a few things you’ll need to knock out first. If you’re hoping to start your own company and take control of Aeternum’s sprawling map, here’s what you need to know.

What is a company in New World

Companies are player-formed groups that are associated with one of three factions in New World — Marauders, Syndicate, or Covenant. You can only join a company with players in the same faction as you, making it imperative that you plan ahead with your friends. If one of you joins the wrong faction, they’ll need to switch — an option that’s only available a few times per year.

Companies can then take part in a variety of PvP content, such as declaring war on another settlement or participating in Outpost Rush battles. In short, joining or creating a company allows you to take full advantage of all the PvP options in New World, and you should try to become part of one as soon as possible.

How to form a company in New World

After tackling the first few quests and running around Aeternum for a few hours, you’ll eventually have the option to form a company. The process itself is incredibly easy, but there are several tasks you’ll need to complete before Amazon Games gives you the chance to become the leader of a company.

Here’s a quick rundown of how to create a company in New World:

  • Play through the main questline until you’re given the option to choose a faction.
  • Join any of the three factions. Take note that only players in the same faction as you can join your soon-to-be-formed company.
  • Open the Main Menu.
  • Select the Company tab on the far left of your screen.
  • Select Create Company. This will give you the option to create a name and banner for your company, then send out invites to any friends who are looking to join.

Creating a company is arguably easier than joining a pre-existing one. To do that, you’ll need to get invited by another player or peruse the Recruitment chat at the bottom left of your screen. Once you get invited, simply press F1 and you’ll join the company.

Now that you’re part of a company, you can check out detailed information about the group by heading back to the Company menu. This will show you a list of all players — and their position — in the company, as well as an overview of your company bank and other regulations.

How to change worlds in Once Human

Survival games tend to be some of the best multiplayer games on PC, and Once Human is no exception. This massive world is far too big and dangerous to fully explore and conquer by yourself, meaning you will always be dumped into a world filled with other players. You initially can choose if you want to play in a world that allows for PvP or is strictly PvE so no one ganks you while you're having fun decorating your base, but what if you want to play with friends who end up in a different world than you?

Each server has multiple worlds within it, so coordinating to play on the same server doesn't guarantee you will find them right away. There's no need to worry right now about linking up with console players since we don't know when Once Human will come to consoles just yet. You won't find an easy way to change worlds in the menus, so here's all you need to know about changing worlds in Once Human.
