Is New World Finally Launching on Consoles

Jun 07, 2024 10:14 AM

Amazon's MMO, New World, appears to be making its way to consoles. A sighting on the PlayStation Store suggests that New World Aeternum is set for a release. Although New World originally launched in 2021 on Steam and achieved significant player numbers, current activities on Steam have diminished. The console release is likely to reinvigorate interest. An official announcement is expected during the Summer Game Fest, which could shed light on whether New World Aeternum is a different game, an expansion, or a revamp similar to what Final Fantasy 14 did with A Realm Reborn. Fans are also curious if an Xbox Series X and S release is in the works as well.

What can we expect from New World Aeternum on consoles?

New World Aeternum may offer a fresh start or expansion for the MMO, possibly bringing new content and features tailored to console play. It could also mark a significant update or transformation of the game, attracting both new players and bringing back old ones with improved gameplay and additional content.

New World set in an alternate version of the 1600s in America, lets players explore, gather resources, and combat foes in a vast open world. It became a rare success for Amazon Game Studios, known for its high player concurrency during its early days. The potential console release is highly anticipated to breathe new life into the game's community.

Bringing New World to consoles is a smart move by Amazon, potentially revitalizing its player base with fresh content and a broader audience. If executed well, it could echo the successful transformation seen with Final Fantasy 14's A Realm Reborn, drawing both new and returning players back into the fold.
