New World: Aeternum is an open-world action MMORPG set on the supernatural island of Aeternum, developed by Amazon Game Studios. It launched in September 2021 as New World — one of the most-anticipated MMOs in years, reaching 700,000 concurrent players at launch — before undergoing years of significant rework and relaunching as New World: Aeternum on October 15, 2024, simultaneously bringing the game to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for the first time and including all previous expansion content. Combat is skill-based and action-driven — swords, muskets, bows, hatchets and magic weapons, each with their own skill trees — rather than tab-targeting, and the game features faction-based large-scale territory control PvP, crafting, gathering, and a housing system.

Key Features: • Real-time action combat — swords, muskets, bows, magic; no tab-targeting • Open-world Aeternum — supernatural island with faction PvP, territory control and sieges • 10-player raids + solo trials + large-scale PvP zones (Aeternum content) • Crafting, gathering, housing — extensive life systems alongside combat
