After years of development and multiple delays, Amazon Games launched its new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), New World, on Tuesday.
New World – Official Trailer
According to the studio, this is Amazon's first foray into the MMORPG genre, with players stranded in an unknown land and left to fend for themselves.
Like many games in this genre, New World takes place in a high fantasy setting with wizards and knights traveling through open spaces. What sets it apart stylistically is the emphasis on pirates and the supernatural.
The developers emphasize the game's combat as its main selling point, calling it "skill-driven and visceral…" New World also features four distinct multiplayer combat experiences: War, Outpost Rush, Expeditions, and Invasions.
