The Official New World Twitter account announced today at 1:16PM that New World’s launch, previously planned for August 31st, 2021, has been delayed until September 28, 2021. This is just another of many New World release delays.
Amazon Game Studios: "As New World recognizes its fourth anniversary since launching on PC, we reflect on an incredible journey shaped by our dedicated player community. Your feedback and passion have been instrumental in evolving Aeternum into the world it is today, and our team is deeply grateful for this shared adventure. After four years of steady content updates and a major new console release, we've reached a point where it is no longer sustainable to continue supporting the game with new content updates."
New World, the PvP-focused MMO from Amazon Games, is being review bombed on Steam over a recently-announced major relaunch.
If they were gonna get into game development. They should've started with single player games imo
An ad for New World, has surfaced on the PlayStation Network, and this falls in line with the studio teasing an announcement at SGF.
I liked MMO’s on PC back in the day but I do prefer console these days. I may check this out
Better controls (I hate keyboard heavy games) and no need for chat communication. So, mostly a preference of how I want to enjoy my online games. I don't want to be typing or clicking buttons. Just holding a controller, chatting when I want (but hearing others when needed in raids even if I'm not). It also tends to be a much better UI. Lot less clutter without the unnecessary hot bars and chat UI and whatnot. Most PC-focused MMOs have a lot of button pressing for abilities that doesn't make it more fun, just more tedious I find.
Next I'm guessing will be it's cancelation.
Delays only make games better. And while not everything wrong with it can be fixed by this short delay, it will allow for a smoother launch.
1 more month isn't that long.
I’m sure they are passionate about this game and wanting to make the game right.
