What you need to know
- New World is an MMO made by Amazon Games released on PC back in 2021. When I played it, I enjoyed its visuals and its streamlined third-person combat systems but disliked the bland PvE and quest design.
- Now, it's getting a second wind thanks to New World: Aeternum, a re-release of the game that bundles all of its content into one package, improves it in various ways, and brings it to Xbox Series X|S and PS5 consoles. It will be available on PC as well.
- New World: Aethernum is scheduled to launch on October 15, 2024, with preorders available for the console versions now.
- Amazon Games says in addition to including all of New World, Aeternum will enhance it with "a fully revamped storytelling approach with enhanced dialogue, in-game cinematics and pre-rendered scenes, the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, a challenging 10-player raid, new end-game solo trials, and more."
