The New World: Aeternum Open Beta Test officially wrapped up earlier this week, and the team is incredibly thankful for the fantastic feedback received and the opportunity to test the game at scale ahead of launch.
“We’re appreciative of the enthusiasm and feedback we received from participants of the recent New World: Aeternum Open Beta,” said Christoph Hartmann, VP, Amazon Games. “As we prepare to take New World into an exciting new chapter, we’re encouraged by the early reaction from players who came together in Aeternum for the first time across console and PC. Our sincere thanks to all who participated, and we’re so excited for players everywhere to finally experience all that New World: Aeternum has to offer on October 15.”
In just under a month, we will embark upon an exciting new chapter with New World: Aeternum — a fresh and compelling experience for PC and console players alike. New World: Aeternum has been fully enhanced for console, with total feature parity for PC players and cross-play functionality. All of the optimizations and enhancements made for console will be available for PC players. New World: Aeternum will debut with a major content update, fully revamped storytelling approach with enhanced dialogue, in-game cinematics and pre-rendered scenes, the first-ever large-scale PvP zone, challenging 10-player raids, new endgame solo trials, and more. In addition, players will enjoy high-quality visuals and performance, input parity, combat action optimizations such as target locking and aim assist, and controller navigation and accessibility features.

We’re hard at work putting the finishing touches on New World: Aeternum to ensure the best possible launch experience for players on all platforms, and we can’t wait to welcome you all into Aeternum next month.
