It might not be news for all of you, but Amazon not only sells games and operates Twitch, but they also make game games, and they are not half bad either. So what’s the news now? Amazon Games now revealed that their MMORPG title, New World, gets a makeover, based on the gamer’s feedback to make it a better game. What’s better than that? They have also made the new version available on consoles like the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S on top of the PC release. The new version will be called New World: Aeternum.
What do we know about New World: Aeternum so far?
Amazon Games reveals New World: Aeternum, an action RPG featuring real-time combat set in a vast open world where players craft their unique adventures. Console gamers now have access to the complete New World experience, encompassing previous updates and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion. This latest launch introduces a range of new elements, including a substantial player vs. player zone, a 10-player raid, solo trials, enhanced progression, new character classes, and more. Cross-platform play is supported for both competitive and cooperative gameplay. As the original version of this game as a PC-only title was a good example of how to do a modern MMORPG right, this info sounds promising so far.
