During major updates do I need a new Map?

So, we are about to get a major update to the Mountains. Will this be implemented into existing maps or will I need a new map/world?

Go watch play through vids of it by people testing it and decide yourself.

Last update, new items would still pop up in any unexplored map areas. Which is good or bad, depending on how much of your map you've explored. Not sure about this one though.

I think it's always probably safer to assume that your older save won't be compatible, being that this game is still in development.

New content will appear on old worlds but only at locations that were not generated/saved before the patch.

Some enemies are an exception however. For example, abominations will spawn anywhere in any swamp regardless of which patch that piece of world was first generated in, because abominations are not tied to a specific structure.
But enemies like growths rely on tar pits in order to spawn and therefore cannot be found in places that were generated previous to the implementation of tar pits.
