Insider Gaming understands that the game will be releasing in mid-October on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Amazon Games’ New World is an open world MMORPG that launched in 2021. In 2023, the game eventually pivoted to a seasonal model. Aeternum is the name of the central location that players explore in New World. The existing New World title is only available on PC.

Wait…this isn’t ftp?

"New World: Aeternum" is a shitty, "Immortals of Aveum"-ass name

So is anyone playing this? Any reports about the console experience?

It's the greatest game that I've never heard of before today.

It's pretty solid. The control scheme is good, graphic are fluid. There's nothing to complain about tbh. I like that it's buy once to play.

Are you playing on PS5? Any feedback on performance? Is it 60fps?

I've restarted again on Steam (I have a 65 on legacy servers) on the fresh-start servers with cross-play and it's been great

 

[dorkimoe]

Played the beta and enjoyed it on Xbox. Nothing like what I thought. Should be fun to kill time in

saw the launch trailer and thought "cool, maybe I'll give it a try" then went to download it and found out it wasn't free to play, then nope'd out.

Reinstalled to check out the control sheme. Very impressed with how they handled this.

Yes on PS5. It definitely dips a bit in crowded questing area but it's really not a deal breaker to my taste. It maintains 60fps most of the time. I feel like it could be addressed with updates.

I played the beta and the starting area were crowded af. Other than that, the control is responsive and the game itself is fun and addicting just like you hope it would be. I didn't came across many bugs either tbh, it was quite polished for a beta.

Not sure why people think every game should be free nowadays.

so is this like a sequel to new world?

whatever this product is, it's an absolute marketing blunder.

Same game with some revamp in mechanics, questing etc.

Action rpg mmo on console with Amazon money production is very tempting.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

From what I've seen from streams this looks like a lot of fun and also works on Steam Deck. It's £50 with the expansion but I'm thinking of jumping in on this.

FYI, if you're wanting to play on xbox or ps5 servers only, you have to disable crossplay in the settings menu. If not, it'll put you crossplay servers. I disabled it so I could play in an xbox only server.

Anyone playing this? Just finished up the demo and I gotta say it's pretty damned decent for a console MMO, ticked all the boxes for, looked great especially the opening section through the ancient tomb/jungle and my 5hrs ended after a few quests around the first town up from the starter beach, my question is does it get better/maintain the quality through the leveling experience? I'm no end game guy, I just wanna run around do quests chop trees and occasionally chat or team up for dungeons, is it worth £50?
