New World update fixes some season pass issues, improves objectives

New World's season pass proved problematic in some areas so the developers are adjusting a few things to be more player-friendly.

Season and battle passes are so omnipresent in video games that one would think nothing can function without them but nothing could be farther from the truth.

When executed correctly, they are not much of a nuisance but New World 's had several issues that people kept complaining about so Amazon Game Studios are working to tone them down.

One such effort occurred with the May 2023 update that also changed a few things with Springtide Bloom.
