Optimized for Consoles

The game has been specifically adapted for consoles while retaining all PC features and adding improved control options. It's designed to feel great with a controller, and the developers say it's worth trying New World with a controller on PC too.

Community-Driven Development Focuses on Solo Players

Amazon Games emphasizes player feedback, which directly influenced the development of New World: Aeternum to ensure a rich and satisfying experience.

Even solo players can now experience the full story thanks to adjustments made based on community input, including removing group-required elements from dungeons. This allows solo players to experience the entire story without needing a group. Changes also include additional cutscenes and adjustments to the starting zone to provide a better introduction for new players.

Anyone who pre-orders New World: Aeternum on consoles or logs in on PC before the release on October 15 will receive a special reward: the Azoth Prowler mount.
