While there is a risk of alienating the reader, it also depends on how much investment they have in the world change as a plot point.

If it's something that the reader is aware may happen early on, or their journey reaches that point naturally (with much in need of change from the first world) you will probably have the most success with it.

But does that world necessarily need to be gone forever?

As an example, you could show what is great/horrible about each world, and twist the readers perception of them and have the characters try to get back to their original world after realising that the new one isn't all it's made out to be.
