Earlier this week, Amazon Game Studios announced its intent to shut down its struggling MMO New World, with the developer now scheduled to take its servers offline at the end of next January. New World: Aeternum was also delisted from all console and PC storefronts immediately, and is no longer available to purchase.
New World nearly hit 1 million concurrent Steam users at launch, but its performance rapidly and sharply plummeted due to its lackluster quests and endgame, and it ultimately never recovered. Now, the game is dying — but the dev leading the studio that made one of the most popular survival games of all time is offering to save it.
