After three years of waiting for “New World America”, I finally learned how to swim. The renamed and overhauled “New World: Aeternum” is re-released and online again.

The MMORPG “New World” (New World) has a new name starting today (15th), “New World: Aeternum”. This is not a DLC expansion pack or “New World 2.0”, but a re-release by Amazon Games The latest version of the home console and PC is officially released and installed.

That’s right, “New World: Aeternum” is actually the original “New World of the Americas”, but it has received a comprehensive main mission narrative update, and added a new 10-player dungeon and new content. More importantly, the game has also been released on PS5. , Xbox Series X|S console platform.

Of course, players who have already purchased “New World of America” ​​on PC Steam do not need to purchase it again. The game will be automatically updated today. There is only one small problem, that is, the game world you are in will be classified as “old”. “Lagacy World”.

According to the official “Road to New World: Aeternum” announcement, with the launch of the home console version of “New World: Aeternum”, the game servers belong to the new “Standard World”, while the original PC version player servers For the “Old World”.

“Standard World” means a new beginning. Old players need to re-create their characters to start the experience, but for new players there is no such problem. Characters in the “Old World” cannot be transferred to the “Standard World”, but the “Standard World” Characters can be transferred to the “Old World”.

Obviously, this rule expects new and old players to start over and re-experience the excitement of pioneering “New World America”… After all, the development team vigorously marketed the cutscenes and performances related to the main plot this time. In “New World: Aeternum” 》The focus is also the emergence of new artifacts and new PvP maps.

It is worth mentioning that with the new title and new atmosphere of “New World: Aeternum”, this game also implements a basic function that has been puzzling to players for many years-swimming.

If you are a new player, you read that right, yes. This is a 3A MMORPG game developed by Amazon. The background of the game is a fantasy adventure story set in the era of great voyages of exploration, but the player character “cannot swim”. As long as you walk into the water, the player character will appear to be walking slowly underwater, and then most likely will drown when the oxygen is exhausted.

Since its release in September 2021, the game has been 3 years old. After the launch of “New World: Aeternum”, it has improved the storytelling experience and allowed the player character to finally swim. It is really gratifying.

Although the character can swim, this cannot change the meaning of “New World: Aeternum” as “New World of the Americas”. This MMORPG is very “agricultural” in nature. Any combat and life skills require time accumulation and a lot of material learning. Training, so for old players, there may be little willingness to farm again.

“New World America” ​​was launched on Steam in 2019 and achieved an impressive peak of 910,000 concurrent online users. It is also the most successful Amazon Games game in recent years. However, the game has also gradually lost players over time. In 2024 It has dropped to less than 10,000 people online at the same time.

Therefore, “New World: Aeternum” is an opportunity for the official to start anew. Considering that there are still many players who have not yet tried the ups and downs of practicing in Aeternum, Amazon’s inner expectations are ready to come out.

“New World: Aeternum”, the renamed and re-released MMORPG “New World America” ​​owned by Amazon Games, is scheduled to be launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on October 15.
