KEY FEATURES:


DISCOVER THE ISLAND OF AETERNUM
For thousands of years, Aeternum has been the source of fantastical legends—and now you've found it. Shipwrecked and without supplies or allied, you'll need to make your way in a dangerous world where supernatural power has changed all the rules.
PLAY YOUR WAY
Play solo or use cross-platform play to team up with others, or compete head-to-head in a variety of PvP battles. Customize the look, skills, and abilities of your character, and experiment with different builds to suit your play style.
SWORDS, GUNS & SORCERY
Arm yourself with brutal melee weapons, ranged artillery, or supernatural powers and jump into New World's classless, real-time action combat system. As you progress you'll be able to determine what you want your gameplay experience to be like—will you act as a protective shield on the front lines of battle? Will you sling spells to support your allies from a safe distance? Only you can decide.
CHOOSE YOUR PLAY STYLE
Choose from seven unique starting archetypes. Each archetype has its own play style. From the Destroyer, a mighty slayer, brutally executing foes with a massive great axe and war hammer to the Mystic, a scholar-warrior who seeks to master the forces of life and death. Choose and change at any point in the game.
SUMMON YOUR MOUNT
Master horses, dire wolves, and lions, each with a unique look, dyeable equipment and a name you can set. Level up your Riding Trade Skill to earn upgrades like increased speeds, buffs and higher tier consumable food for your mount.

✦ AI summary

Players loved the game itself for its unique MMO experience, engaging gameplay, and strong community moments, but are deeply frustrated and angry about the developer's decision to shut down servers permanently. The core complaints center on feeling cheated by paid DLC that later became free, the permanent shutdown destroying players' investments despite paying $50+, and the lack of alternative options like single-player or community server modes to preserve what they purchased.

i LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH, SOOO MUCH it's crazy... Been playing it on and off since 2022 and still some months spent more time in game than actually living. It was perfect for me. and just for that i-m giving it a thumbs up . BUT NOBODY BUY IT!!! What they did to recent buyers is disgusting. Give people who bought this game recently their money back, hell, even those who bought it since the release day... Nobody purchases a 50$+ game just to have available for 4 years, WORSE if you consider Elysium Wilds was sold as a DLC until last year! 30$ a DLC what would become free and included in the base game some time later... to lure new customers to buy a game few months later so they couldn't ask for a refund?? Amazon sucks big time. The game was beautiful visually and audibly and fun to play but amazon kill it.

(I'm giving it a thumbs up, because the game itself is great. The Dev Team however, gets massive thumbs down) I really sucks to see one of the most Unique MMOs out there to be shut offline. But if you ask me, then why not keep the game up and just shut off the servers? Make it a Single-player game, or do local/community servers. What's the point of shutting the entire game down? Let us at least enjoy what we payed for. A while ago, I wanted to re-download and play New World, but then I saw that the game would be terminated and I ended up decided it would be a waste to start playing now. It'll all be erased anyway, so what's the point? I loved New World, even though I didn't play for a ton of hours, it was still a ton of fun. I met good people, had a clan going. It was fun to do raids, play music at the towns, show off ones houses/rooms, grind all the weapon masteries. There is so much to the game, and now it'll be gone in half a year. New World was one of my favourite games, and a top 3 of all MMOs I've played. I will miss it, and I hate to see such a good game not being owned by a better Team. I can only hope that a better team gets their hands on ownership of New World, to m…

If companies can terminate a game at anytime, then I should be allowed a refund at anytime.
