The announcement was shared on the New World forums, where the development team has shared they have been tirelessly working on the feature to ensure the process is smooth for every player. They also said that more exact dates and information would release closer to the actual release date for all server transfers. It should be happening sometime between October 18 to 22.

The server transfers were pushed back to ensure that any player-based wars happening over the weekend could be wrapped up, and it did not occur during their peak times, which makes sense. However, New World’s weekly maintenance happens Tuesday morning, so it could happen then. Right now, we’re in the dark regarding the exact date.
