BIG MMO New World News! Console Release And Cross Play
New World: Aeternum, due out on October 15, 2024, was designed specifically with consoles in mind, but will also be available for PC players. Despite the name, it’s not an expansion for New World, but an enhanced version of the original that takes the core of New World and expands on it with new mechanics like mounts, swimming, massive PvP zones, and end-game raids.
“New World: Aeternum is the culmination of years of focused development combined with input from the dedicated community of players who forged a path in the original New World on PC,” said Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, in a press release provided to Dot Esports. “Listening to player feedback is fundamental to how we make games, and we know New World: Aeternum will deliver on the promise of a fresh and compelling New World experience that players can enjoy together across platforms.”
New World: Aeternum includes the base game, all previous updates, and the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion for anyone who picks it up. In addition to the old gameplay, there’s a ton of new content, including the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, a 10-player raid, an improved leveling experience, a revamped story, cinematics, and much more.
